About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To light your soul on fire!!

ABOUT ME

I'm just a regular old lover of life! Hailing all the way from Australia, I've spend the past 6 years here in Canada and I'm working on making Nelson my home. I've got a construction company, a band and a lot of vinyl that I dj with. That all keeps me pretty busy, but I love getting out into the great outdoors and hitting the dance floor too ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

"If it sounds good, kick it"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to GIVE something wherever I go. Sometimes that means playing music for people. Sometimes that means doing the dishes or moping the floor. I believe in an ENERGETIC EXCHANGE wherever possible. Lest the balance be tipped too far...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted by so many great people, some of whom have become great long time friends. In return, I try to have people over and help them out however I can... when I have a couch that is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born. That's pretty amazing to me. Right out of nowhere! One day I wasn't there and then all of a sudden the next day my mum gave birth to me. BAM!
