I am a thirty something father. I have family all around the world and enjoy keeping in touch with friends and family. I live in Sydney, Australia with my wife and daughter. My wife and I are Urban Planners and we love discovering how different cities work when we travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and grew up staying with generous friends and family when traveling. This generosity is something I’d like to share with others as I raise my own daughter now we have our own home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a fan of all kinds of music. I sing in a community choir for which we recently wrote our own musical. At home we usually have classical or world music playing which my baby daughter likes listening to. I read non fiction and love biographies and learning from others who have taken the time to write about their lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When my wife and I were trying to have kids, I discovered that I had testicular cancer. Going through treatment for this really opened my eyes to how precious life is.

Teach, Learn, Share

I get a kick out of learning new things - especially when people take the time to share. I’m studying to be a teacher in my spare time.
