Hi. I was born in Australia and moved to Tokyo when I was 4. I lived in Tokyo for 4 years then moved to the USA for 6 years before returning to Perth, Australia. I moved to Melbourne last year because Perth bored me. I am now traveling the world for 9 months.

I like to have fun and am in to just about anything. I have partied a lot over my life and still do although i've been trying to put longer gaps of adulthood in between those blurs of excitement nowadays to ease my conscience.

Besides that, I have a massively diverse range of interests. I'm a bit of an "intellectual" (that doesn't sounds right) so discussions about life and other wanky things go down well with me. I'll go with you to museums or out on a hike if you know a good spot. I might even come to check out that Venezuelan nostril singing concert you've been trying to convince your friends is really cool (mate, it just isn't). As long as there's beer. Let me know what you're into and chances are i'll like some of it. If you like motorcycles we will get along. If you like music... well who doesn't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an avid traveler, but new to couchsurfing. I have a lot of friends who are part of the community, but I still haven't had a chance to try it myself. I'm here because I want to meet some locals who can show me their city and let me hang out with them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I love all sorts of music - ranging from Classical to Rock to Techno, depending on what's happening at the time (i'm not going to go out partying to Wagner).

To give some examples I love artists ranging from:

Bonobo, Four Tet, Caribou, Chrome Sparks, Aphex Twin, Noisia, Calyx & Teebee, Chase and Status, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Broken Bells, Led Zepplin, Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Portishead, Massive Attack, MF Doom, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash

Books
I read a bit so it would be hard to pick a favourite book. The last few books I read were: Ham on Rye, On the Road, Dune, Shantaram, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Movies
Pulp Fiction, Full Metal Jacket, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Fight Club are favourites

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a 6,066m mountain once. That was cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to be able to speak terrible English, I can teach you some Australian slang

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my stories, conversation, my cooking skills (nothing great), my astounding company and my modesty
