I'm a friendly, open-minded guy who enjoys meeting new people from different backgrounds and cultures and learning about the world and life. Also, I'm gay but straight-friendly!

I've lived in the USA, the UK, Australia and France and have travelled all over the world.
I'm currently based in Melbourne, Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a couple of people but am yet to surf any couches. It's great getting to meet people from across the world... and hopefully rack up some good karma along the way :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the violin and piano and I'm good at fixing things. Aside from that, my English is excellent and I'm happy to teach anyone who's interested in learning. I'm happy to learn anything from anyone but I would particularly like to improve my Spanish and use my French more.
