About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm still limping through a University degree that i dont dedicate nearly enough time to. Probably cos i only started the degree so i could go on exchange/erasmus. When im not at uni (about 98% of my time) i'm probably doing something related to music. I make (a meagre) living from acting as a publicist for bands and record labels, playing in bands, recording sounds and music for films and by making silly songs for silly commercials.

PHILOSOPHY

Have as many new experiences as you can. Good or bad, who cares you're living life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by offering my house to travellers, introducing them to my friends and giving them my famous tour of Melbourne. If you catch me on a good week i might even drive you down the coast to the house of my parents, where there is a lot of beautiful scenery, beaches and yes kangaroos.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted tons of people here in Melbourne, at my tiny apartments when i lived in France and the UK. Some have stayed for one night others have stayed for 2 months+
