About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently studying Architecture in Melbourne after working in London. I also work designing Australian beach houses and houses in the countryside. I specialise in environmental housing.

ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people and try new things. I could never say I don't like something until I've done it and I've never disliked anything I do because then I wouldn't be me. I enjoy art, architecture and live music. When I travel I prefer to see a range of large cities, small towns and nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Never say no to something you haven't tried before ... Better to regret something you did then something you didn't do

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people in London but unfortunately my studies prevent me from having time to host people in Melbourne. I look forward to finishing so that I can host people again but I always try my best to make every encounter a balanced one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some amazing people but there are so many more of you out there. A big thanks to the people who hosted me in Lithuania and Latvia in particular, you were amazingly generous.

Interests

Travel, travel and working to afford more travel. I've visited almost 50 countries and all because of the generosity of the people I've met.
I work to afford more travel but I am also passionate about designing good buildings for people.
I enjoy art, fashion and photography as well as making furniture. I currently live in a house where I have made all of the furniture and hope to start making more clothes in the future.
I enjoy cooking and have begun to grow many of my own herbs and vegetables.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Everything and everything even more with friends.
Movies: 90's comedy. Not a huge movie buff but I do enjoy them when I have the time.
Books: I change between a non-fiction and fiction book each time. My last 2 books were about physics and fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping in the Sahara desert with a nomadic family.

Climbing the Great Wall of China, mountains in Nepal and surviving India

Designing and building part of my family home

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Cooking basic foods from scratch (my specialty is hand made pizza dough and pizza sauce).

Can explain (or attempt to remember) the architectural significance of buildings in Europe and Asia. Happy to pretend I know about all other buildings and make things up.

I love to share any knowledge I have about travel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share a great night out, a day visiting a gallery you might not have been to yet, or a restaurant you've been meaning to try.
