About Me

Hi,
I am an Artist and am finally embarking on a life long dream of going to all the top art galleries in Europe. I was born in South Africa and grew up in New Zealand. I have been living in Australia for just over 10 years now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly I'm here to find places to stay while Im traveling through Europe for eight weeks starting in July. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and enriching this life long adventure dream.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Sinnerman by Nina Simone and then anything by Bob Dylan - well... most things.

Books - Girl with curious hair by David Foster Wallace, Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig, We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumped into Lake Taupo in New Zealand. I went into the water up to my waist.

Teach, Learn, Share

Drawing and painting techniques, art history, philosophy, a little music, English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm hoping to do a lot of drawing and writing on my travels so I'll be happy to offer a piece of art if it appeals to the host. I can help with any odd jobs needed around the house. I can cook and at the very least offer some money ;)
