About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm hitting the road

ABOUT ME

I've got a 12 month working visa for the USA. I'd like to spend most of that time in New York City.

I'm going to the States via Paris. And after New York I want to see a few Southern States. When immigration kick me out I'm heading back to Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, be good, read, create things. Be positive, it helps a lot. Get out of your comfort zone more often, physically, socially, spiritually, creatively.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be travelling for the next twelve months at least. I'd love to give surfing a shot. When I get back to my place in Sydney --which my big sister is keeping warm for me-- I will be happy to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's great. I haven't had a bad experience yet.

Interests

Contemporary art. Photojournalism, documentary photography. Portraiture. Markets. Food. Sleep.

Dogs. I love them. If you have a dog, can I please walk it?

Making new friends. This is a biggie. Some of my closest friends only came into my life recently. The measure of a good friendship isn't its duration.

Lastly, travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I hardly ever watch movies. If you're a film buff, help me out.

Music: Yes please.

Books: Some authors I like: George Orwell, Jonathan Franzen, Kurt Vonegut, Somerset Maugham, George Eliot, Coetzee, David Sedaris, etc. If you have a book recommendation, I'd love to have it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nepal and India: the tranquility of the Himalayas, the chaos of the cities. The path of Enlightenment, and the other one to Capitalism, India has it all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to meter light, take an okay photo, then develop the film.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, India, Nepal, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia
