About Me

I grew up in country in northern Queensland, (tropical area in the north of Australia) and that probably contributed to my being pretty relaxed.
I moved to the western suburbs (historically more working class area) of Melbourne (Australia) and that probably contributed to being tough when I need to be.
I have studied at university, that's where I learned Spanish, but I never finished a degree.
I enjoy dancing and I'm pretty good for a white guy.

I like learning languages. I love using Spanish.

With the right company and right amount of alcohol, I can get up to crazy shenanigans.

Crecí en el campo y eso probablemente contribuyó a mi actitud relajada.
Me mudó a los suburbios occidentales de la ciudad de Melbourne (Australia) cuando tenía 13 años y eso probablemente contribuyó al hecho que puedo ser duro cuando necesito.

Estudié a la universidad, allá aprendí el español, pero no conseguí ningún título.
Me gustaría escribir letras para canciones, mayormente las rimas para las de hip hop. Pero recientemente he estado trabajando en unas de diferentes géneros.
Me gusta bailar y soy bastante bueno para un tipo blanco.

Me gusta aprender los lenguajes. Me encanta usar español.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, in the grand scale, I believe that we should strive for a more socially-just, environmentally-sustainable world which is democratically planned by the people.

On more person relations, treat people how you would like to be treated and trying not to judge people who have a different lifestyle/fashion sense to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't really participated a lot as yet.
I enjoy learning about different cultures, (particularly philosophical concepts within cultures) and languages
I think learning and understanding these things is the most interesting, and possibly most important, part of travelling.
I'm happy to meet up with people in Melbourne and hang out.
Hoping people might be generous enough to give me a spot to stay while I'm away.
