CURRENT MISSION

Researching and writing about emerging youth cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm an Australian living in Beijing. Easy-going and take any excuse to travel.

At the moment I work in youth research and marketing.

I've embarked on a quite a few unique travel adventures â

PHILOSOPHY

Do something remarkable. Under promise and over deliver.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Helping people discover the best parts of Sydney and hopefully encouraging travellers to do something different when they travel — something you may only consider after a few drinks and a bet between friends.

...and most recently, a place to crash in Shanghai.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed while in India while researching indie music and youth culture in Mumbai.

Interests

I take a lot of live music photos, surf whenever it's warm enough, and cycle everywhere.
