About Me

Hey, I'm Luke! I've worked across the world in some pretty diverse roles - from ski instructing in the Rockies, to running restaurants in Scotland, renovating apartments in Argentina to working as an editor for a music website in Bangkok.

More recently, I've been spending my time building a business focused on eliminating single-use plastic and finding sustainable alternatives. We produce our products in Vietnam and send them around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a broad one - I'm a huge fan of outdoor music festivals and have traveled the world to experience some of the bigger ones like Boom, Roskilde, Burning Man and Exit as well as local festivals like Rainbow Serpent and Splendour in The Grass back in Aus. Whilst I've got a particular fondness for techno I listen to a load of suff. From downtempo trip hop to funked up breakbeats, old school soul and motown to raucus punk rock, my music tastes are diverse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Give me adventures every day of the week.

I've climbed volcanos, traversed India in an auto rickshaw, travelling 4500 kilometres across 14 days to raise money for charity, hitchiked my way across the east coast of USA, trekked 170 kilometres across the Himalayas, and I just rode a bicycle from Bangkok to Phnomh Penh. looking for more adventures into the future.
