Young Aussie/Finn who's an adventure nut and music enthusiastic. The last thing in the world I'm good at is sitting still.
I have just left a very promising internship at a highly regarded Australian music booking agency to explore the world more. I'm young and I'm definitely not looking to settle down any time soon. There's still a whole big world out there to see and experiences that I won't get staying at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to travel extensively, make lots of new connections and really immerse myself everywhere I go. There's only so much you can learn and experience following the normal travel route, Couchsurfing offers a whole new world and I'm excited to be a part of it!

Interests

MUSIC
Finding awesome local bands and getting involved in the industry is a big passion of mine. Generally just love everything to do with music as well

DRUMS
Played in a few bands back home in Sydney. Mostly play rock and metal

ADVENTURE TRAVEL
I always like adding a bit of a challenge to my travels. Hitchhike all around the Ring Road in Iceland? Sounds like fun! Join an army in the middle of winter on the otherside of the world in a country where you barely understand the language? Sign me right up!

WALKING/RUNNING/HIKING
Big fan of using my legs. Up most mornings to go for an early run before work. Last year I completed my first half marathon, will be looking to complete my first full marathon this year.
Always enjoy walks around the neighbourhood listening to podcasts or music and also love finding different hiking trails.

BOOKS
I read a lot mainly for the purpose of learning and gaining inspiration. I try to take at least 30 minutes each day to read a bit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Finland in January 2018 (middle of winter) to do complete my military conscription. Having never lived in Finland before, I wasn't required to do it but joining an army on the other side of the world in the middle of winter sounds like my kind of fun. I became the machine gunner (Rambo) of my squad.
Highlights included camping in -29, walking 75km and doing drills for 36 hours starting at 2am and training at a Swedish army base for 1 week.

I have experience and knowledge in the music industry which can be adapted to any creative pursuit. If you want to take your work seriously then I'm the guy who will give you advice and tell you to give it shot.
