I'm an Australian illustrator from Sydney where I live with my girlfriend, four buddies and a cat called Clementine. I draw a fair bit, take the occasional photo and am trying to improve my cooking. I'm sort of staggering through beginner French too.

Currently driving from LA to NY in a temperamental Volvo and having a hell of a time.

I'm new to couch surfing and keen to give it a go!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Me and my friends have been travelling across the states and have had a wicked time meeting and getting to know new and fantastically interesting people. I want to continue having wonderful experiences like this and couch surfing seems like the bee's-knees way to go.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Film: Anything by Studio Ghibli, Michel Gondry, Pedro Almodovar or Charlie Kaufman.

Music: Tom Waits, Serge Gainsbourg, Jarvis Cocker & Pulp, Conor Oberst & Bright Eyes, too...many....to list.

Reading: Ferlinghetti, Bukowski, Shaun Tan, Moebius, Margaret Atwood and, at the moment, socially-relevant science fiction in general. More recently, Naomi Klein's non-fiction work on climate change. I'm fascinated by the potential end of the world as we know it.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Skydiving solo and watching my chute take a little too long to open.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can help you learn how to draw (or at least get you started)! For starters, it's a skill of the mind, not the hand...

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

A rough-ride education of dodgy Australian slang and, if we have a little time, I make some killer chipotle pork tacos.
