About Me

Hi!

My name is Michael, and I'm a musician from Melbourne, Australia. I love travelling, reading, hiking, swimming, hanging out with friends.

In Melbourne I work in a bookstore and play music in my spare time, writing songs, recording, playing shows. I'm looking to travel through France and Italy in October 2016, playing solo shows along the way.

If anyone would like to host a house gig/show for me in France or Italy, that would be amazing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I play in a band called Mallee Songs, you can check us out here:

I'm looking to travel through France and Italy in October 2016, playing shows along the way. At this stage I have gigs booked in Rennes, France, and in Rome. I'm looking for accommodation along the way, and to connect with and know the local scene. I'm hoping some couchsurfers might be able to give me some advice on booking shows in their cities!
