About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do the worthy, eat the tasty, sleep the lengthy

ABOUT ME

I've just come back from travelling and meeting tons of people around the world, so I'm still re-settling into life back in Australia (Melbourne). But I've been bitten by the overseas bug and can't wait to head back into the wild again, hopefully Berlin, New York or San Fran!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met with and surfed the couches of many good people during my travels.

Now that I'm back, I'm hoping to offer my couch to other travellers once I've settled back into life here in Melbourne.

Interests

I like travelling and reading and learning about stuff.

  • reading
  • traveling
  • religion

Music, Movies, and Books

Dostoevsky, Neil Gaiman, the Nightwatch series, Catcher in the Rye, Edgar Allan Poe, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Heinrich Böll, David Wallace and, lately, Cormac McCarthy are writers/works who/that have inspired me in the past.

Music-wise, anything that includes jangly riffs, pounding drums and a hypnotic bass will usually get me going. But I'm also partial to any music that has a good rhythm, regardless of genre. Streetlight Manifesto is my latest obsession.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a privileged witness to a bread-breaking ceremony conducted by a Jewish family in Melbourne. The warmth, solemnity and devotion that marked the ceremony made it a humbling yet beautiful experience, and caused me to consider religion in a different light.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Laos, Latvia, Malaysia, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russian Federation, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Singapore
