About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To act like a child as long as I can.

ABOUT ME

I am now working full time in IT which matches my personality because I am a massive NERD! I have an interest in tattoos and slowly over the past 5 year I am covering myself in them.
I am constantly looking for new artists/bands to listen to, I will have no trouble speaking for hours about music.
I'm basically up for a good time before life catches up with me. If anyone wants to go out for a few beers i will always be in or if you want to get out of Melbourne and hike I will always be keen.

PHILOSOPHY

theres no point in sitting at home when there is always something better to do on the other side of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to spread the message of couch surfing to other travelers and friends and offer a couch if i can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was the best because i was hosted by some awesome people who took me in even though i had no comments and my profile was not complete. they showed me what couch surfing was all about.

Interests

I love all things Geeky, if there is a lightsaber involved I am there. I also have a fairly good sized comic collection. I have played guitar for about 10 years now (although not as much as I would like) and am always looking for new bands to listen to. I am utterly obsessed with my dog, an amazing golden retriever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not really sure what i can teach people, if your in Melbourne I might be able to show you some of the hidden bars and take you to a few good shows. I would love to learn how to play any instrument. If you are missing your dog at home Zappa (dog) is always up for making new friends.
