About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy good tunes, good company, and help myself and other achieve what they want

ABOUT ME

I enjoy riding bicycles, love driving beat up cars. I like plenty of different types of music, and my main selection for a show is just that the crowd is enjoying it. I have studied in Australia, the US, the UK, and the Netherlands - mostly physics in all of them.

Canberra is not as boring as you might think.

I have a love of thriftiness, and generally enjoy the unexpected. I enjoy hiking exercising and breathing fresh air. I like researching for a show, and the feeling that at a particular point in time I am at the best possible concert I could be at in the planet at that time.

But all in all, I'm happiest when I'm eating a kebab.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn things, tell tales. and amass as many CDs as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couches are better than trying to sleep in a park - they are usually warmer and it's easier to meet ppl. Had a few shockers this way in the past.

Have couchsurfed in the Balkans and had a great time - great way to meet ppl, share information and approaches to life, and secret kebab shop tips.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving my car from Fulsom, Utah, to Tucson Arizona with a mangled transmission housing that had to be hammered in every 100km. Falling off a car park in Belgrade and splitting head open.
