About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cut loose on the world around me!

ABOUT ME

I really, really love playing many instruments (guitar, bass, drums, piano, harmonica, lap steel, etc.) and making music, either originals or covers. So I always have fun jamming with different people.

Also love making music videos and short films, which is what I studied at university.

But at the moment, after getting my education out of the way and working for 2 and a half years, I've finally broken out of Australia and have escaped to see the world, meeting new people along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

No retreat, no surrender.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Nothing yet as I'm currently traveling, but I'll get started soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beer, Pizza and a trip to the ER with Stefanie in Baltimore. This was my first couch surfing experience and I have to say it was absolutely hilarious. (Neither one of us was the one that was hurt and bleeding).

4 hr+ interstate roadtrip in the middle of the night to a terrible strip club with Sakura and her chick friends in Indianapolis (or Louisville when we actually got to the club). Thanks girls.

Late night bar hopping and delving deep into soul and blues with Lisa in Memphis.

Shuffleboard, two-steppin', late night gigs and dollar bowling with Mel in Austin.

Slept in the same room as a 6ft long Boa Constrictor and avoided Hurricane Gustav with Wendy in New Orleans.

Good times. :)
