About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make it in the USA for a whole year!

ABOUT ME

I run the Wollongong poetry slam Enough Said and poet around Sydney and the east coast of Australia. I also work in a bookshop and it's the best job I've ever had! I love to read and travel, to photograph and dance and learn as many hiphop albums off by heart as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change/Carpe Diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a bit on my last trip to the USA. Still living at home in Aus but as soon as I move out I'm keen to give a little love back!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Austin, Texas and had a lovely time there while I was at Austin City Limits music fest. One of my favorite memories of the whole weekend was having Mexican food with my host the night I arrived and learning about the city!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I mentored a bunch of kids in Western Sydney this year and prepared them for their first ever poetry slam. Witnessed one of my boys get up on stage, bare his soul, embrace vulnerability and change other people's lives. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you alot of trivia about Michael Jackson or composing/performing a poem or how to frame a photograph in a Polaroid camera. I can teach you how to play the piano or sing a harmony and I give a pretty good backrub. I would LOVE to be better at Spanish and need a conversationalist!
