CURRENT MISSION

Learning to teach, teaching to learn

ABOUT ME

I´m a relaxed, down to earth and friendly sort of person. I enjoy having fun, meeting people and learning new things. I usually roll with the punches and I´m always making a concerted effort to see the positives in people and situations. I love having a good laugh, a good beer, hearing/sharing funny stories and getting myself into unpredictable and challenging situations. I'm confident and ambitious, yet I can also be indecisive and you may spot me in the grocery store staring at the cheese section stewing over a decision as if it were life or death!

Living in a character-filled old house in Hawthorn with Sam - an epic housemate. He's a straight-up lovely fella. A teacher as well, a table-tennis aficionado, he surfs, asks life's big questions and bakes a mean brownie! We're keen to meet and host some legends traveling through Melbourne!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey, things happen all around us on this journey. Be happy, enjoy your journey and savour the thought that yours is unique.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share some hospitality and good times. I've been lucky enough to surf in a number of places around the world. Now it's my turn to give back and provide a roof for others to sleep under.

Music, Movies, and Books

My three favorite forms of entertainment, I'm always looking for new and good recommendations!

Movies: I'm a massive sucker for the imdb top 250 list. Picking one favourite is impossible however The Usual Suspects, Into the Wild and Spirited Away are up there.

Books: Some of my favourites include... The book thief, The wind-up bird chronicle, Zen and the art of motocycle maintenance, To Kill a mockingbird.

Favorite Band - Graveyard Train - get amongst them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Over the course of 6 hilarious and fun-filled months, my best buddies (Andy included!) and I road tripped all the way from the United States to Argentina in an old (but extremely well behaved) station wagon.
