About Me

20 something livin on the other side of the world from where I call home for the last couple of years. I've just finished doing my undergrad in Melbourne, Aus and I am stoked to start traveling again after a 2+ year hiatus from the travel life. I'm super keen to meet new people and am always up for new experiences. I like to keep it chill just as much as I like to have a big night/day so always ready for whatever my settings call for.

Coffee, beer, books, chats, (bad) story telling and endless curiosity.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is a learning experience (good and bad!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couched surfed twice and both were lovely experiences. Hoping eventually I'll be able to host a few people in the future. Also, I see it as a great way to experience a city/place through the eyes of a local find those lil gems that would otherwise I'd miss out on

Interests

Very much into traveling, reading, writing, making art, exploring, trying to learn new languages, trying things I've never tried before, or just improving things I currently kinda suck at. Overall following my endless sense of curiosity and seeing where that takes me.

Music, Movies, and Books

How do you say all these things in a small blurb.

I love environmental docs, LotR, Wes Anderson and the like.

My music taste is vast, ranging from some faves like Devendra Banhart, Modest Mouse, bossanova, jazzy classics, post punk, psychedelic rock, lo fi house and everything in btwn.

Always reading something but my forever favourites include:
- Narcissus and Goldmund, Hermann Hesse
- East of Eden, John Steinbeck
- Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov
- Dharma Bums and Big Sur, Jack Kerouac
- Let My People Go Surfing, Yvon Chouinard
*Currently reading Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off of a 17 story building in Bolivia.

Okay... well I abseiled but it sounds cooler saying I jumped.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hard to anticipate what I can teach you or someone else.

I want to learn about your language, your culture, your favorite bar, or band, or whatever...

I can share my knowledge on the places I've traveled, the stories I have, whatever you are willing to hear.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Malaysia, Peru, Singapore, Thailand, United States, Uruguay

Countries I’ve Lived In
