I'm an Aussie musician living in Manitoba, mainly between Churchill and Winnipeg. I started couch surfing in 2013 and think it's an incredible movement of kindness and community. You can usually find me with a coffee in hand, kicking around outside in -20 in search of a local brewery, talking about post-rock and polar bears, or playing cello for an unsuspecting yoga class. Currently writing a new album and developing a new show that will be showcase the beauty of the wild arctic to the world!

PHILOSOPHY

"I don't need anybody
Because I learned to be alone
And anywhere
I lay my head, boys
I will call my home."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once made 100 pancakes for a house full of hungover couchsurfers in Dublin.

I've done some cool stuff with my cello as well, I guess...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make a decent cup of tea and have been known to write some lines and buy some beers in my time. Have become infamous throughout my time in North America for cleaning up many a student share house/apartment. Pretty handy in the kitchen as well!
