About Me

ABOUT ME
I want to see the world and grow as a person. Meeting people of all cultures learning as i go. I want to help people somehow but don't know quite how yet. I'm outgoing, friendly, fun and respectful.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to be positive and genuine as i can and live a life that leaves a positive mark on the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few times and will be looking to surf soon

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed (not via this website) the entire first year of my music diploma, whilst in 2 bands and working a job. Don't know how i did it. Met a bunch of cool people!

Hosted some people when I lived in Sydney.

Interests

love percussion! and music of all sorts. I have been drumming for 16 years and play guitar too. I used to facilitate drum circles.
Im into sport, and play football, squash and table tennis. I was a Personal Trainer also and I get a kick out of seeing people achieve what they set out to. Losing weight, increasing performance in sport, getting over an injury. Love it!
Otherwise i just enjoy seeing friends, hanging out and new experiences.
