I'm travelling the world with my wife Emma. We've taken 12 months away from our lives in Melbourne, Australia and want to see as much as we can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and have uncommon experiences away from the guidebooks.

Interests

I am a sustainability engineer working on designing green buildings and reducing the environmental impacts of the built environment.

I also do some art, and have had a few exhibitions. My work explores colours and texture using spray paint and printing media. My latest works use CNC machining techniques to replicate natural patterns and create new prints and sculptural forms.

My wife Emma is a lawyer in Melbourne and works in policy to reduce family violence and improve the legal system to help victims.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a voracious reader and have too many favourites to list.

The most recent books that have made an impact are the Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, and the My Struggle series by Karl Ove Knausgaard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked for 8 hours through the jungle in Flores (Indonesia), in a monsoon downpour, cutting our way with machetes, to reach a tribal village with our friend William Doi.
