About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To attain a certain level of sustainable awesomeness.

ABOUT ME

Probably too much fun, quite entertaining, open minded, exotic like a parrot, always up for a laugh and a good time. Live music is a strong passion of mine, and it's also a strong passion of Melbourne.

On a more serious note just finished my BA in International Relations, either off to work with the government next year or do my masters. Eitherway, I'm hosting to increase my network for my next major adventure.

I currently work as a barman/barista at Northern Golf Club in the north of Melbourne. I love my beer and I love my coffee! Golf is ok, I suppose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By surfing the couches of the world, meeting new people and living the good old life. More importantly, by showing visitors to Melbourne, the real Melbourne.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did it in Albania, it was interesting. Anyway, I'm giving back some of that love.

In couchsurfing.

Interests

Football, international politics, alcohol and the occasional riot. Travelling is another notable interest of mine. Establishments of historical and cultural importance. Music festivals, live music especially. The live music scene here in Melbourne is world class.
