Hi I'm Angus!
I'm an overly tall, overly formal and self deprecating hipster from Melbourne. Above all, I just want to listen and learn while I travel, whether that be new languages, new customs or learning about the history of where I am, I'm all ears!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I am tired of "sightseeing". I want to absorb the culture of a town or city through the people who live there - and hey - if we forge some long lasting friendships while we're at it, I consider that a huge win!

Interests

• music
• art
• food
• videogames
• streetart

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just finished a six month exchange in Sweden! One time, I hopped on an overnight train right after class and went up to a town called Kiruna in the far north. When I got off the next morning it was -20. I then got picked up in a snowmobile and taken out to a cabin deep in the snow.

As you can see, I survived the experience :)

Teach, Learn, Share

As I said, I'd like to listen and learn from my host but, if you like, I do have some skills.

I'm a native English speaker so if you want to practice English with me I'd be more than happy.

I can teach Music production (Ableton, Logic and Garage Band) and songwriting, so by all means, let me know if that interests you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love listening to all types of music but I also like to write and play music. If you have an instrument or even some decent speakers, LET'S JAM!

I love to cook! Seriously, point me to the nearest super market and I'll happily cook you something just don't ask me to cook a traditional Australian dinner, I still have no idea what that would be.

Do you like to play games? I have Mario Kart, that's all you need to know.
