About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore, love and learn.

ABOUT ME

A very relaxed and easy going lad. A passionate artist with an intense curiosity for life and people. Adventurous and open. Never one to take myself too seriously my decisions are often guided by good people, music and food. Currently working in London as an animator in the Feature Film industry and loving the brisk yet welcome change from my hometown Sydney.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a comedy best enjoyed with soft cheese, smooth beats and friends that put a smile on your dial

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a valuable contributer to the Couchsurfers camp at Burning Man Festival 2009. A very close friend and I housed 3 other Surfers within our Monolithic tent structure and provided a constant supply of tasty food including Mexican dinners and Italian lunches as well as shelter from frequent dust storms. We asked for nothing in return and were just really pleased to contribute in any way we could.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Without a doubt meeting so many brilliant people from all around the world at Burning Man Festival 2009 at the Couch Surfers camp. Riding through the desert, wind in the hair, with like minded legends as the scenery melted in the darkness around us

Interests

Animation, Sketching, all types of music from Drum n Bass to Jazz. Snowboarding as regularly as I can. Establishing lasting relationships with like-minded people. Reading books about history and Psychology. Kicking out for a good ol' fashioned boogie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding through the Nevada desert on a beach cruiser dressed as a 1920's aviator, trailed by a wizard. Wind blowing through beard and hair while watching the flaming circus surrounding us melt under the stars.
