About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stop wasting time. Figure it all out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Officially surfed in Slovenia, Croatia, Italy and France. Often unintentionally find myself on a couch after a big night out.

Interests

Food: Almost anything edible. The more unusual the better.
Drink: Beer, Gin, Wine Tequila
Music: I play the guitar and keys, my tastes range from indie rock to pop, hip hop, electronic, prog rock, folk doom, disney soundtracks, synthy dreamscapes, ambient metal, drumcore,, whale sonar ok I'm just making stuff up now.
Film: Again, broad tastes. I tend to prefer movies that make you think a little, but sometimes I can't go past a mindless action movie or cheesy comedy.
Philosophy: My academic passion. I've spent whole nights locked in philosophical discussions on topics that have absolutely no importance in everyday life. Good nights though.
Football (Soccer): I've played it as long as I can remember and I watch the English Premier League whenever I can.
Games: Card games, board games, video games, word games, drinking games, games I make up myself. I'm pretty competitive but I enjoy losing almost as much as winning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For anyone interested in traveling to Australia, I highly recommend you check out the beach on a secluded little section of the Queensland coastline known as Hillsborough National Park. I never really appreciated the natural beauty of my home country until I found this place. Beyond description.
