About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make it there and back again

ABOUT ME

25 years old. Musician. Vegetarian. Keen to see a lot of the world. Surfer. There are a lot of labels and adjectives but like anyone, meeting me is the only way you'll know :)

I like to think that I am a thoughtful person.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you think is right and let others do the same.

The more I learn the less sure I am about what I "knew" before.

I appriciate the fact that I'm one of the relatively few people in the world who are lucky enough to do things like travel for fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive. Everyone I've met has been great.

Interests

After the health of the people I love, music is my main interest in life. I play the drums and make electronic music (mostly hip hop).

I also am interested in travel, food, the beach, knitting, artistic things, new people and places and the things they can teach me.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many to choose.
Music - Hip hop, jazz, Tom Waits (I think he can have his own genre), cuban, reggae, dub, glitch.
Movies - Old ones, new ones, funny ones, sad ones.
Books - There are millions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Wailers playing inside a huge ship building warehouse in Sydney Harbour. The natural reverb worked so perfectly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just bought a Mandolin in Antwerp for 20€. I'm trying to work it out. Any pointers would be great.
