About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning oriental roma music on the trumpet.

ABOUT ME

A young man out in the world looking for inspiration in all the nooks and crannies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Even before I joined this website/project the house hold I live in hosts people all the time, mostly people from Brisbane moving to Melbourne who are making a fresh start and a few random backpackers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with friends a few times in Germany and Bulgaria.

Interests

I'm a musician, songwriter and composer. I spend a lot of time hunting for music and sounds. I also record, mix and produce my own music.
At the moment I have 4 musical projects; a band called The Baboon Brothers, a solo project called The Baboon Bother, a solo composition project under the name of Heath Mongolia and my trumpet work/study.
Outside of this I do a bit of writing, drawing, shopping for 2nd hand clothes, photography and enjoy dress up parties where I try to have the best outfit/characters.
