Hi! I'm a film maker interested in synthesizers, wellness and progressive ideals. I'm a coeliac so I'd love to know about the best gluten free food in town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends, share experiences and good conversation. I love how talking to people from other parts of the world introduces me to new perspectives and ideas that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to make bodyboarding dvds and film surfing in my early 20s. One time at the heaviest wave in Western Australia I was the only person filming in the water while others photographed and filmed from jet ski's. Only when I got on the jet ski to leave (it's very far out from land) did I find out not only was there a great white shark in the water that day but it was aggressively charging at one of the surfers about 50m from where I was sitting on a bodyboard.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been working with computers specifically video editing for over a decade. I'm also confident with basic VFX, design, Photoshop etc. In recent years I have been making music with synthesizers and that has been extremely fun!
