ABOUT ME
Hola,
My name is Merryn
I'm a musician from Byron Bay, Australia, currently travelling through the USA and Canada, on my way to Berlin where I will live to continue a (fingers crossed) career in music. I love to play and share music. I am in a folk pop band called 'Potato Potato', and sing as my solo act 'Merryn Jeann with a chillwave electronic band called 'Tora'
here are links to my music:

With Tora late last year, I toured around Australia, playing in most major cities as well as festivals including Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival on NYE, was the most crazy, beautiful fun experience and it's what I plan on doing more and more of all over the world.

I have a blog that I love to share photos and the occasional word on. I have it to share more personal things in my life, available for people to see if they so wish!

I love travelling and exploring new places, meeting new people. Learning and sharing with others is so full of goodness, which is why I love writing music and playing it for people, it is my way of giving a part of me.
I loooove fresh organic food and farmers markets. I miss swimming in the sea and starting my day with tasty fresh food and a delicious coffee under the sun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who are local to the places I visit. I love the idea of not being a complete tourist somewhere, rather living amongst people who are just kickin' it in their everyday lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed at Falls Festival Byron bay to a crowd of thousands, I could not stop saying 'Holy shit, what the fuck oh my god shit this is fucking amazing', in between laughing with joy...i'm surprised I could still sing the song.
Here is a little video of the crowd: http://instagram.com/p/xStb30ncq0/?modal=true
