About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting a rich serving of life outside of little ol' Brisbane

ABOUT ME

Living in a share house in Brisbane, working at the hospital. Have a nice little community vibe going in my street so a lot of time gets spent hanging out on decks listening to tunes, having chats, quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) drinks and smoking maybe too many cigarettes.

I dabble in a bit of bad bedroom music production (have been trying unsuccessfully to teach myself piano for years now) and amateur photography (have a strange fetish for all things lomo).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have been dormant in the CS scene for the last few years however there was a time when I had frequent and sometimes multiple surfers staying at my house. Some stayed for a night, some quite a bit longer (one moved in as a permanent). Most of this was organised through other housemate's accounts, so you'll just have to trust me on that.
http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=2UWDYJF He has A : references for people that stayed at our house, and B : (conveniently) used a picture of the two of us as his profile so there's some loose proof that I'm not trying to dupe you good people :)
