CURRENT MISSION

Get grounded...

ABOUT ME

I finished University [round one] and was kicking around for the last two years doing everything I'd ever thought I might enjoy in the USA and across Western Europe.

I've come back to my home town to complete further studies, I now spend most of my day at the Australian National University playing with timber.

As the weather cools off in this little town I start to dream of the ski season to come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have always had a body or two crashed on my sofa and when I'm on the road I prefer to have a more homely experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My house has always been a welcome place and I´m very grateful to all those who share the same sentiment.

I've had only the most friendly and accommodating experiences staying with others and I hope the same is true of having couch surfers in my own home.

Teach, Learn, Share

So... I've been educating myself in the mysterious art of ecologically sound building techniques but am taking a tangent and following some other curiosities. On a normal day I like to chat culture, music, literature, philosophy and other crazy adventures.

I want to remember a place far away from here, to hear stories and perspectives.
