CURRENT MISSION

Memorizing all the fielding positions in test cricket

ABOUT ME

Hi all! My names Jack, and I'm from New Zealand. I graduated from university with a BA in history, and right now I'm focussed on...chilling out. Or something.

PHILOSOPHY

I wish I was a philosopher and could write something clever here like everyone else does...but sorry. Just to learn, travel and be nice, I guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A decent amount - from Brisbane Australia, through the American East and South...all the good stuff, of course.

Interests

Music, writing, journalism and all things in such a vein. I like formula one and cricket too, for the record.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well...most music is good for me, from Rage Against the Machine to Leon Redbone. I especially like The Band and Jimi Hendrix. When it comes to books I'm a fan of Hunter S Thompson and Jack Kerouac especially, as well as the music writing of Peter Guralnick and Barney Hoskyns. For movies anything goes; I especially like The Coen Brothers, and my favourite movie is The Last Waltz. You can't go wrong with Clint Eastwood, either...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to The States takes the cake for me, which will confuse you Americans no doubt...

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me about music, and I might be able to help you out. Or New Zealand, for that matter, of course.
