Interests

I play guitar (acoustic/electric), little piano, and try to sing and DJ when I'm feeling adventurous. Just got Ableton live, trying to figure that guy out!

I live in a beautiful semi-rural part of Adelaide and try to hike/walk/cycle as much as I can. A good way to get immersed in nature. Want to do more of this stuff while travelling, it can be difficult to organise sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last December lived in a remote Aboriginal Community north of Alice Springs for 3 nights. Not long enough! Slept in a swag the whole way up and back under the stars.

Stayed in a squat in Paris, loved it!

Canoed under the Pon de Gard.

'Working' at Shakespare and co. in Paris, amazing shop.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can give you guitar lessons and teach you Australian slang. English lessons, maths lessons..

I need to learn more languages, I'm terrible. I've made a start with french, someone help me with verbs! Otherwise would love to learn as much as I can in the small time I am in your wonderful countries! Want to learn how to hike properly, rock climb or anything outdoorsy like that.

Can share my taste in music and movies, my small steps into travelling or recommend some Australian beaches!
