About Me

I live on a boat, so if you'd like to come stay, I can offer adventure rather than a warm shower. The reason is that I always wanted to try it and life is too short not to live your dreams. Well at least that's the advice that I've received from lots of old people and I reckon they'd know.

I'm easy going and like having a laugh, though I like to think I can do it all with a mystic sincerity, followed by a cheeky wink.

When at home I teach and play a large dose of music, nurturing the growth of Sydney's music scene. I study geography at university with the same interest with which a kid climbs trees.

Abroad, I follow my feet on a shoestring in the pursuit of stories with scenes that'll change the way I think about the world.

MY PHILOSOPHY
Be brave and smile

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been twice now around the globe and have noticed that regardless of where you are, people have the same helpful intentions toward intrepid travellers. This website is just one of the mediums by which you can learn that.

I've hosted plenty before and will continue to do so. Contact me and we'll figure something out.
