I'm a easy going singer songwriter from a small farming town in NZ. I have been working as a Lifeguard between studies for almost 5 years now! and I'm all finished with my studies and feel like going on a bit of an adventure! this will be the first time i have been on such a trip so am a little bit nervous but at the same time suppppper excited!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my close muso friend's recommend that i should use couchsurfing whilst on my trip to Europe because he has met some really nice folk whilst travelling around the globe, so for me that sounds like a pretty sweet way to spend my travels :) .
I would love to experience the local culture first hand, and be able to share some of my experiences growing up in New Zealand :)

Interests

Music is something that has always come naturally to me so i try to play as often as possible! I also love the visual arts so I'm really looking forward to heading to see some of the epic galleries in Europe :).
I really love to experiment with cooking and dig Jamie Oliver's style of cooking.

...and puns. love me a cheeky pun.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment I'm really loving TomWaits,Radiohead & Calexico.
My musical influences would be Kings of leon, Neil Young & The National.
I have been collecting vinyl records for about 4 years now and have built up a collection of about 400+ albums that i love to play everyday!

One of my all time fave movies would have to be pineapple express, closely followed by Django unchained & monsters inc.

Im not much of a reader due to slight learning difficulties due to dyslexia, but i try to read at least one decent sized book a year :) last year it was Kith Richards Life! WHAT A READ!! haha. I haven't decided what I'm going to read this year but i have heard good things about Leonard Cohan's latest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to be able to play some of my songs & jam with the friendly hosts for having me stay as i have played a few house concerts back home :) i would also love to make a meal because music,food & great company is always a winning combo :)
