I'm a portrait artist from Melbourne Australia.

I have spent the last 6 years moving around Australia collecting bachelor degrees in the creative field: one in Graphic Design / Visual Art , the other in 3D Animation for Film and Gaming.

After spending a few months traveling UK and Europe, my partner Vanessa and I are now motorbiking across South East Asia. It is my goal to eventually establish a long term base for volunteering, and we have been working with some fantastic NGO schools and orphanages along the way. We are currently in Vietnam, and will be heading back to Cambodia in a couple of weeks to finalize arrangements for a cultural exchange we have been organizing for two of the older orphaned boys.

I value sharing and communication above all. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories and experiences. I enjoy brief friendly chats as well as deep existential conversations, depending on the mood ;-) Also always keen for company while sightseeing, or a Netflix marathon and wine together on a night in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe we are all results of very unique sets of circumstances and that each person has an incredible amount of perspective to offer. I love discussing life and the world with other people, and traveller's are the most capable of being open to such sharing. Plus it's always fun to have cool people to adventure with 😀
