PHILOSOPHY

Family, friends and good health are key to a better life.

There's no point in being the richest man in the graveyard as you can't take your money with you. The overall experiences we encounter in this life are what really matter and it's definitely the people we meet along the way which makes the journey of life awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Fun guy who is looking to explore some great destinations in Europe and see what they have to offer. Equally willing to host and share positive experiences with other likeminded people :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to Couchsurfing but my friends have recommended it. After this Europe trip I would be happy to host you in Melbourne, Australia or give tips/advice on Australia in general.

Feel free to send me a message.

Interests

I love music, art, film and fashion. I like keeping fit, cycling and exploring different places.

It's great to see things while travelling which are different and notice the things which are universal and the same to your own home country. I'm open minded, willing to hike and explore nature. I tend to gravitate mainly towards arts and music type activities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm big on Electronic music (House Electro/techno, mashups, 2manydj's/Soulwax) But I also like many other genres rock, chillout, jazz, world music and much much more. I could talk about music for ages, also keen on checking out local record stores around the city.

Favourite movies: The Fifth Element, Run Lola Run, Die Hard & more (action, comedy, arthouse and international films)

Books: The Purpose Driven Life - Rick Warren, Porcelain - Moby,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done so far was to fly into the Grand canyon on a helicopter. That was surreal.

I've also Skydived in Cairns, Queensland and been to Burning Man in Black Rock, Nevada, U.S.A.

Finishing Tough Mudder and other fitness events have also been really satisfying.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can Dj (so I could teach you how to beatmix, mix 2 songs together, if that's important to you). Or I could play music for your party ;)

I also have a good grasp of Australian history and culture. There's so much I could teach, it just depends what matters to you and what you'd like to know ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Vegemite (lol... try it once)... Australian wine .. a good laugh and some interesting conversations..

- Travel companion, coffee pal or fitness buddy

* Music knowledge/DJing etc*
- If you have a party/event coming up I can be your DJ if required :) do love to play some tunes with friends :)

- Give you advice tips on running an online store
