Hello everyone!
I am a musician from Australia currently living with my girlfriend near the centre of Budapest.
After high school I spent 3 years busking in Germany, Netherlands, France, Morocco, the Balkans, played pub gigs around Scotland and did a dozen odd work aways during my travels (farms, building projects, hostels, language schools)

I spent the pandemic starting a band in eastern Poland. And have played solo and with the band around central Europe the past couple of years. I was working in Australia the past 6 months, played in an acoustic duo: Hazy Daydream and now...
I'm starting some new projects in Budapest! Super excited about starting a new adventure here. My girlfriend and I plan on hosting a little during 2025
We look forward to hearing from you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The travel community is a truly wonderful place. I have met so many beautiful people travelling and CS for me is a platform that allows likeminded people to connect

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working in Aged Care

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to swap travel stories. ALWAYS up for a jam if someone has an instrument or two lying around. Or a game of chess. Language exchange is also fantastic. I'm learning Hungarian. I speak conversational Polish and a little German but I'm always eager to improve or try to pick up some words or phrases from other languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company is important when travelling! Truly just enjoy meeting new people and sharing life experiences with people on lifes journey
