ABOUT ME

I've lived in Sydney my whole life - long enough to take the amazing weather for granted. I don't know whether I love snow because it's a fact, or because I've only seen it twice in my life.

I love my coffee. I love my friends. I love having coffee with my friends. I love having coffee with strangers. I love meeting strangers. I don't talk to strangers with candy, unless it's the old man who runs the chocolate shop. I like the coat 50 Cent wears in the Candy Shop video, but I prefer Kanye's hijinks over Fiddy's bullet wounds.

I like to bake. I like to ride bicycles. I stare at screens too much these days, and don't read as many books as I should/would like to.

My friend is trying to teach me Hungarian but he says no one will take me seriously unless I stop sounding like a chipmunk. Hungarian is difficult.

PHILOSOPHY

Stories constitute life, personality, friendships. I believe you connect with people primarily through shared experiences, so it's important to have and contribute to memorable ones.

God, it's fun to laugh too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen a guy play guitar balancing a second guitar upside-down on his nose. Whilst singing.

So. Amazing.
