CURRENT MISSION

To know what my cat is thinking

ABOUT ME

Hello!

My name is Michael, I am a communications/arts student from Sydney, Australia.

I am in the third year of that degree - I major in journalism, history and sociology. When I grow up I'd like maybe to be a journalist, preferably a good one. Or I'd like to be maybe a real life historian and teach history or something. I don't know. I'd like to marry rich and then spend my whole life writing fake memoirs.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't ever have a personal philosophy. Also, don't be a pessimist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live at home with ma and pa at the moment so it would be awkward if you came and stayed here but I'd be happy to have hangs with anyone new here :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet! Hopefully soon I will have buckets upon buckets of lovely things to say here.

Interests

I like to read books and listen to music and go to the cinema and read the newspaper and I like to have avocado on my sandwiches and I like stir fry vegetables and I like my cat (her name is Ursula, but everyone calls her 'Burse') and I like history and politics and the media and talking about those things, often at the same time.

I also like travelling!
