Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- Signed up in 2011 as I adventured in British Columbia, Canada. -

I'm interested in maintaining a connection with circles of my community around the world and trading stories with others.

Interests

I am a Melbourne based Creative Writing major and worldwide traveller.

My passions include coffee, festival cocreation and volunteering, community development, vegetarianism, opshopping, upcycling and sewing, live music, spoken word poetry and literature.

A local to the south east of Melbourne, I love the local cafe culture. I'm located in Elsternwick, in a beautiful Victorian terrace.
A Venue is available in our backyard as it has a stage and a fire pit.

Cities I have lived in include Wagga Wagga in rural Australia, Newtown Sydney, Canberra ACT, vibrant Melbourne and beautiful Vancouver in Canada.

My dreams include further travels on the West Coast of the US. I would love to be a part of San Francisco as a Communications Intern, Professional Barista or a part of a Community Development project or Festival.

I wish to continue my studies in a Masters in Humanitarian Assistance and Community Development.

I love underground artists; poets, musicians, producers, visual artists, painters, photographers, designers.

As a writer, my main initiative at the moment is enhancing my Community Development Blog; aimed at creating content that inspires and provokes action for Social Change and Youth Empowerment.

If you're an adventurous spirit and wander into my neighbourhood as a traveller, I know what the life of a traveller is! Bless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what I may seem to the world, but as to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
- Isaac Newton
