Hello!

I'm George. I'm 26 year old Australian. Into all things creative, my main outlets being music and poetry.

My true passion is music, and have finally gotten off my ass and started a band, which is the main man in my life - it makes me so happy. Think bassy, soul, dark, trip-hop. I also make massive brass earrings!

Psychology student also which I'm also incredibly passionate about.

Intersectional feminist and passionate about social justice, living consciously, being an active change maker even in the smallest decisions - not being indifferent or complacent about social change!

I ride a motorbike too - so any classic motorcycle enthusiasts out there - hit me up. I ride a Yamaha SR400 named Juliet.

All about small local pubs, bars, local music, cafes, TAKE ME TO YOUR HIDDEN GEMS!!!

Ideal travel to me is finding small rural towns, exploring the countryside, and underground scenes in big cities. And of course, living like a local.

PHILOSOPHY

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.

Please don't take yourself so seriously

I believe in the Universe and the signs and help it presents, in being open to receiving what is meant to come my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed my way around Europe and America and it was the greatest decision I have ever made. I had the craziest experiences and met the most incredible people.

I've also hosted several people in my little Melbourne house, which was just as an amazing experience.

Now I'm back on the search for people to host me for my trip through Scotland!
