ABOUT ME

I've lived in Melbourne and Sydney, and have lived abroad in London and Leipzig (Germany), where lived and worked at a hostel in East London (good times!). I like living abroad, its vastly different from travelling continuously.

I'm an incredibly visual person, I like to design things, cook things, play basketball, and to meet great people. Love the idea of a shared community. Also...I love all things Japanese :)

PHILOSOPHY

Do as much with as little as possible. Less is more, more or less :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first took notice after reading Brian Thacker's hilarious book: Sleeping Around: A Couch Surfing Tour of the Globe. I've surfed on floors and couches in Japan, England and Germany, and I have hosted many people in Melbourne too, just through word of mouth - I had 8 guests in my room at one point :) I'm pretty generous and welcoming when it comes to hosting, especially to those who are travelling! I also lived in a 12 bed dorm in London for 3 months...you can never have too many :)

Music, Movies, and Books

With music...I generally like bands with female vocalists...but my taste varies. It can be The Kills or The Abjects then can switch to Flume or Gessafelstein before a night out, then Warpaint or Andy Stott to chill out :) Minimal techno for pure concentration maybe? :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Couchsurfing and visiting Japan - it was great!

Staying a night in a forest in Bremen (Germany) in a caravan, after a heavy weekend :)

Camping alone on the beaches of Bournemouth, UK.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play basketball, cook for you and your mates, and design something for you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are interested in learning Japanese, I've recently designed a nice little book for learning to write Hiragana :) I can send you a copy!

Also, if you come to Australia, you will be looked after, I am an active host when I'm home :)
