Hello my name is Peter, I've lived my whole life in Australia but have parents from both the United States of America and New Zealand.

I enjoy discussing art, culture, philosophy, religion and most topics but not really sport haha.

I enjoy doing random, unexpected things that most tourists wouldn't dream of and most of the time I'm quite extraverted and down to do whatever.

I'm currently studying Interactive and Visual Design at The Queensland University of Technology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to meet locals and in return be able to show people from around the world my hometown of Brisbane if they are ever in the area.

Interests

I am currently studying Interactive and Visual Design not only to work as a graphic design but hopefully study the emerging philosophies behind new technologies and how to better help society embrace the changes being made.

I have been a long term seeker in looking into philosophical worldview and study it on the side for fun.

Whilst currently a Christian I enjoy sharing dialogues with people about their faiths and share my own beliefs with them in an open minded manner.

I love going on hikes and mountain climbs, there's a lot of that in Australia.

I have been a long time admirer of the visual arts, contemporary or classical I like both.
