ABOUT ME

Having lived in Adelaide all my life I headed o.s in Feb 2008 and now live in Dublin.
I've studied music, a bachelor of arts, played in indie bands, edited a magazine, helped run a volunteer based arts co-op, worked on films, and lots of stuff like that. I love food and I work mainly as a kitchen hand or in cafes, so that works out.

PHILOSOPHY

To be nice, to shower accordingly, to eat well, laugh, have fun, check out cool stuff and clean up after myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted people in Adelaide in 2007. I did a bit of couch surfing in Holland but have now settled in Dublin, and I'm sorry to say I can't offer my couch here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All the folks who I've hosted have been great guests, really easy going and fun too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

unfortunately I haven't swam with dolphins, climbed a mountain or any stuff like that that. But I've seen the Dirty Three five or six times and each time that's been pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

wow, there's so much of this to fill in. I should really be working, ha!
I can teach you to make gnocchi, play guitar, the little Spanish I remember from Uni but I'll need you to help me polish my Italian.
