About Me

I grew up in a small town in Australia and moved to Canberra to study economics and marketing.

I've now completed my degrees and have been travelling Asia since the start of 2015. I've been to China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Laos.

I'm travelling to the US for a little over a month after my adventure in Asia before I return home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people and experience a new style of travel (for me). I'm always looking for the opportunity to learn about new cultures and share my own.

Interests

I love music, both listening and creating. I play guitar, clarinet and produce electronic.

I also enjoy reading, films and of course travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a wide range of music from jazz to death metal to techno. I'm always trying to listen to new things. Some of my favourite artists are Frank Zappa, Autechre and Steely Dan.

For screen entertainment I liked Breaking Bad, and films like Audition, Apocalypse Now, Fight Club and many more.

A couple of my favourite books are Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje and The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steve Pinker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buying a motorbike in Vietnam on total impulse having never ridden before in my life... Had to learn quickly in Hanoi! The 20 day ride from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share my musical knowledge and tips on any countries I've visited that you may be interested in.

I also enjoy learning about your culture and history.

I love cooking for people too!
