About Me

I was born in Australia (the only country that eats the animals on the cover page of their passports) with dropbears falling on people's heads. Luckily I was never their victim. I grew up in a house with a tin roof which is why I love the sound of rain hitting tin roofs, it gives me a sense of peace and comfort.. I have a sister and two brothers. I love animals and just recently finished working at the new Phnom Penh Zoo as a Penguin Lifter. Looking to get a bike and tour Vietnam and beyond. I am a happy, curious, jolly bloke!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the cheapest and most interesting way to travel. I believe one of the best ways to get to know a place is to be introduced to it by somebody who knows it well and then explore on your own.

Interests

Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, cricket, new adventures, economics, history, interesting podcasts, relaxing with a good book in a nice spot with a drink and a smoke.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. Love soul, blues, rock, classics, good ethnic music, anything beautiful. I enjoy live music, love Golden Plains and Meredith back home. Star Wars, Mad Max, Tarantino, Akira Kurosawa. I'm reading Bill Bryson and Herodotus at the moment, Peter Temple, anything interesting and entertaining.
