About Me

Well I grew up in Wellington, New Zealand and lived there up until I was 17, then I moved across to Brisbane, Australia with my family and I lived there for the next 11 years up until I was 28... which is when I decided to leave my job as an Electrician and finally get out and see more of the world...

I left Brisbane on the 14th of June 2014, and I am now hoping to spend the next few years traveling and making my way around the world...

Also i've started blogging my travels, you can check it out at...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music is one of my greatest passions, back in 2006 I actually purchased my first set of 1200 technic turntables and I have been obsessed with DJing and music ever since, I enjoy a wide variety of music it really does depend on my mood...

Some of my favourite DJ's to watch are Diplo and A-Trak while I enjoy a wide variety of electronic music artists such as Hudson Mohawke, Disclosure, Flume, Basement Jaxx, Bag Raiders, etc.. when I feel like listening to hip-hop some of my favourite artists are A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Wu-Tang, Kanye West, A Tribe Called Quest, etc... when I feel like some Indie Pop/Rock I enjoy The Strokes, The Drums, Vampire Weekend, The xx, Hot Chip, The Kooks, Two Door Cinema Club, Alt-J, Arctic Monkeys, etc... and when I feel like some old school I enjoy The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fleetwood Mac ,etc...

MOVIES:
I'm actually traveling with a hard drive loaded with about 1500 movies I'm slowly working my way through them... there are really too many movies to mention so i'm just going to list some my favourites travel movies...
