About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To update my couchsurfing profile so that it's ready for a trek across Europe

ABOUT ME

As per usual, there's a lot to say but can't think of where to start. As far as hobbies go, I'm an out and out musician. I've been playing the guitar since my memory began to function properly and am now set on a quest of pursuing music as both a career and a form of relaxing. My dream is to contribute to the formation and running of an eco-village on my home property in southern NSW

PHILOSOPHY

Nangus is everything... yet it is also nothing...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I am aiming to learn as much from participating in the travelling aspect of the community. From this face value experience, I´ll endeavour to develop ideas and possible benefits that I can bring to couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can´t say I´ve any couchsurfing experience at the current moment. I could include staying in a few friends houses around Melbourne but I won´t. I do hope to be able to participate as much as I can throughout the next few months in the couchsurfing community.

Interests

Music (prog, classical, ambient electronica, contemporary jazz, Kyuss, Skip James and the Delta Blues, Polyrhythms...) The finer art of homebrewing, eco-politics, international issues, politics, travelling and geography, cricket (without the macho/occa intent), animals, permaculture and sustainable living practices, culture and experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning to play the guitar is the first thing that comes to mind but there´s many things worthy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don´t mean to sound like a one trick pony but Music is the obvious answer. Nevertheless, I like to think I´m the kind of person whom could be asked a question or for an opinion and be capable of answering in an informative way.
