About Me

I have lived my whole life in Australia, a big country with a lot of to see and do, but I had never left the mainland.
Instead of taking a simple holiday in Asia or a contiki tour of europe I decided to take a whole year to live in another country and learn a new language. So here I am in France!
It will be a trip with a lot of fun and challenges, and I look forward to being a better, more open person by the end.

Mon vie entière j'ai vècu en Australie. C'est un grand pays avec beaucoup à voir et fair, mais je jamais sortie.
Donc, quand j'ai atteint 25ans j'ai choisi prendre un an à vie dans un nouveau pays et apprendre un nouveau langage.
Et alors je suis en Francè!
C'était un voyage amusant avec de nombreux defis. J'éspère être un personne ameilliore et plus ouvert par le fin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling I love to stay with people and families to better learn about their language and culture.
I love the concept of freely exchanging hospitality and culture and I am looking forward to continuing to host when I finish my travels.

Interests

I have been playing music for over 10 years. I am a true eclectic, both in my music taste and general outlook on life.

I believe that every experience has something to offer. It is important to learn and improve yourself every day.

As well as loving music I am a nerd at heart; I love fantasy, sci-fi and games of all kinds.

Music, Movies, and Books

All good music, a few artists in particular; Tommy Emanuel, Louis Armstrong, Queen, Foo Fighters, Percupine Tree, In Flames.

Terry Pratchett is my favourite author, and I take great inspiration from the Lord of the Rings.

As for films; Lord of the Rings (again), Game of Thrones (books as well), Staw Wars, Stargate, Whose Line is it Anyway?, I Love You Man, Get Him to the Greek, Extras, Parks and Recreation, to name a few :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped out of a moving plane recently. It was pretty fun :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a guitar teacher so I love to share my music with everyone who is willing to listen and learn.
J'apprendre français par voyager en francè et me recontrer des locaux.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook with fresh food, and I always make a habit of preparing a meal for my host and helping around the house during my stay.
Of course I also love to make music with people.
