I grew up in country Victoria, but have spent most of my life in Melbourne. I speak a little German, but only enough to order a beer or two! I'm a big fan of meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think there is always more than just the touristy side to a place and couchsurfing seems like an easy way to get to the local experience and a great way to make friends.

Interests

I love reading, eating, drinking, camping and hanging out with friends. Big fan of good coffee and good beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, Father John Misty etc. Fight club, Shawshank, Reservoir Dogs, Dark Knight, Ferris Bueller etc. Dave Eggers, Bukowski, Pynchon. The good stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month teaching English on a remote Cambodian island. It was crazy, hot, basic and definitely an eye opening experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a smattering of German, am pretty handy on the espresso machine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A few rotating books, a basic appreciation of food, beer and coffee. Some great conversations.
