About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To survive europe on what little money I have left, meet interesting people along the way and end up with a handfull of crazy stories to share back home!

ABOUT ME

Well, I was raised in Dorset, England for the first few years of my life then came back to Australia for my education process.
I find it hard to hold myself down, I'm always eager to be on the move, seeing new places and meeting new people. I think without adventure and uncertainty, life becomes as exciting as a packet of unsalted peanuts and a ruler. Therefor I find spirratic
This also may be why I can't seem to hold down a job.
Hence why I was dubbed 'White Lightning' (because of my hair as a child) and why the Spanish would call me Dónde está Morgan? after running off countless times at the age of three in Barcelona.
I'm more of a summer person rather than a winter, but you'll often find me cursing the weather wishing for the opposite. I feel spontaneity is the key.
I fill up my time (when at home) by playing and recording music by myself of with my band (or really anyone thats around), Adding to my photography port folio in the hope of getting into a good photographic school!, spending time with my dearly beloved friends, Cooking good food (or trying to)/Throwing dinner parties and finally seeing live music!
I really dislike pretentious people who think there better than others, snide & nasty comments and money.

PHILOSOPHY

I always try to say 'yes' as much as I can, or else I fear I may miss out on an amazing opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't wait to start hosting myself once I'm back in Melbourne with my own place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first ever couch surfing escapade was staying with a charming English writer, an Italian circus performer who played and sang jazz, a Polish reggae superstar, a tattooed Singaporean who's sneakily traveling by herself, a German DJ from Berlin and two American sisters from Las Vegas in a squat house near bricklane
We were a bit too loud one night (playing music and banging pots) so the neighbors threw pickles through the window.

Interests

My interests lie in music, poetry, literature, painting and drawing, street art, tattoo's, the old world, photography, religion, chatty people, architecture, graphic design and really good coffee!
