About Me

I am a country boy from Western Australia, I grew up four hours north of Perth on a big scale grain farm, with a couple of sheep and cows in the mix. I now study mechanical engineering at the University of Western Australia. Currently on an exchange program in Montreal Canada and loving it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great way to meet new people, even better way to experience a city - with someone who actually lives there. I want to travel cheap and share my love of Australia around the world, show people a little bit of my Australian flair and my own experiences of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music ranges from percussion trap to tech to house to disco to funk. Favorite producers go straight to Mr Carmack, Sango, Tom Misch, Kaytranada and the almighty Australian, Flume.
My favourite movie is the kings of summer, not really sure why but I like the idea of 2 young dudes building a house in the woods and living there.
Lastly my favorite book, tough one but I have to go with Robinson Crusoe, by Danial Defoe, an old classic

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caught a 30kg tuna on a hand line trawling in the Solomon Islands
