CURRENT MISSION

To write as much meaningless shit in my travel notepad as possible. Good memories!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy a comfy couch and meeting cool new people... this seems like the right place to do both

I......

- CRAVE a taste of that first NY pizza slice...
- love a good tune (average Joe by day, DJ by night)
- find great humour in reflecting on (and laughing at) awkward situations... not so much being in them
- appreciate modesty
- can't wait to grow a dense beard
- hope to one day brew the perfect home-made beer
- love shitty MTV reality shows
- CAN tell the difference between 'we're', 'where' and 'were'... it comes in very handy
- love coming to the realisation that I'm somewhere completely different... and feeling a bit giddy

PHILOSOPHY

"I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?"

Omar Little, The Wire

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both surfing and hosting whenever possible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent a week in Bloomington, IN, as guest to the wonderful Julia Dadds. With such a positive first experience, I'm definitely keen to surf and host a lot more!

Interests

Me in a nutshell:

- Any great film, book, music, artwork,videogame (and so on) that I can enjoy and connect with
- Live music
- Meeting new people!
- Drunken experiences with friends
- Rain on hot asphalt/ new car smell
- Penelope Cruz (doing extremely well for her age)
- Fascination with American culture and way of life
- Pretending I'm in any other exotic, bustling metropolitan city (e.g. New York) whilst stuck in the middle of Canberra
