My friend and I are making our way to Melbourne, Australia in July and are hoping to make some friends to show us the city through the eyes of the people who know it best. Maybe go on a road trip or two.

I'm currently working on my associates degree in Arts and Sciences, but decided to take a break and hit Australia before hitting the books even harder.
I've spent most of my life playing music and taking pictures, psychedelic photography is kind of my niche.

Ashleigh is 25 years old and a writing fanatic. She too is heavily into art and music and has lived abroad for the last few years. She'll be moving to Melbourne while I'll only be staying for a month.

Interests

I dabble in a variety of art mediums. Mostly pen and ink and photography.
I'm currently working on an all photographed tarot deck when I find time between homework and work work.
I'm also pretty damn good at singing, if I do say so myself. This is the first year out the last eight or so that I haven't been in a band. I miss it something fierce.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was a long time ago, but as a child I remember walking down a beach in Australia and with every step left behind there would be a glowing foot print. And just like pixie dust you could throw it into the air and it would rain down again in a glittering flurry. I'm sure there's some kind of word a chemist would use to describe it, but we all know that it's really just magic.
