About Me

Yoga in the morning, Muay Thai at night, music and books in between.
Aussie bush doofs (outdoor transformational music festivals in the Australian wilderness) are my favourite get away.
Electronic music has a special place in my heart but I love all music.
Human movement and martial arts have always been a huge part of my life. I am intrigued by the human body and what we put in it.
I love being fit but also love letting loose on the dance floor bare foot out in the wilderness.
I have a big beautiful dog a little beautiful cat a motor bike, van and two awesome housemates.

All the above fairly well sums up my lifestyle.

I must stress I do not watch any t.v the media kills my vibe and no mainstream music gets played in this household.
I also expect my house the people in it and my belongs to be respected.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Competing on t.v which was broadcast live across Japan, Thailand, Cambodia and China with the king of Cambodia greeting me after the fight. I lost that fight but it was definitely one of the most amazing atmospheres I've been the centre of.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been teaching martial arts for 5 yrs and competing for 10 years. I've studied human movement and nutrition so I'm quit keen to talk to anyone about these topics. I can DJ and have cdjs in my lounge room so most weekends we are having a mix.
Honestly though I love knowledge and love talking to interesting people. So much to learn.
I would love for someone to go over some loose ends on my dreadlocks. That would be great and anyone who knows there yoga I'm allways keen to practice.
We love to have cooks offs at my house to so bring your best meal ideas haha.
All instruments, pois, juggling balls welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My house, food, knowledge, friends, music, garden, Internet etc. What ever I can do For people to be comftable and better themselves I'm all for it. I've also got a gym set up in the garage we often play around in and a massive park out the back. We are 10 minutes from the beach and go camping in our vans a lot during summer.
