Gday, my name is Shay! I'm a 24 year old Aussie who has just graduated uni and will be travelling all across Europe in 2018, looking to make connections across the world and experience new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

New cultures are always better experienced from a local perspective. Touristy stuff is great, but I would love to see your city through your eyes. Making new connections is what travelling is all about, and this seems like a fantastic platform to meet like minded people!

Interests

I love seeing new places and things, and am open to experience. I'm somewhat of a musician (percussionist), and I froth live music in any form. Very keen on music, films and TV shows. I'm basically keen to wander around and explore, grab a coffee or a beer, catch some live music and meet great people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes to all. Off the top of my head, my favourite bands and artists are The Cat Empire, Jackson Jackson, Childish Gambino, alt-J, Chance the Rapper, Trombone Shorty, I could be here all day. I'm impressed by most music and love getting way too invested in it. I read daily, and watch films as much as I can, of all different varieties. Keen to watch your favourite film or chill out listening to your kinds of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accidently swam with sharks next to the world's only accessible underwater volcano (Kavachi, Solomon Islands)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am relaxed, cheerful, helpful and considerate. Always up for a chat and keen for a laugh. Very respectful, thoughtful, and clean!
