About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to grow, to see things first hand, to understand the world and the wide range of people in it

ABOUT ME

Guitartist, Photograffer, Forrest.Spirit

I'm an easy going Australian who craves adventure and excitement. I love meeting new people and grow when I share experience with others. I am a HUGE nature lover, my best times growing up were running through the bush with friends and seeing what was over the next hill!
I'm an avid doofer [for you aussie ferals ;) ] .
I'm living back in Australia now after 12 month in Germany.
I also love playing guitar and jamming with people.

I'm a very cheerful person, with lots of energy yet I always leave time for introspection, if you want a couchsurfer who you can roll around on the floor laughing with then I am your guy and yet I can also offer at the same time open ears and an open heart for those more contemplative moments. Balance :)

I am respectful in other peoples spaces and make an effort to be harmonious with the people around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watch my sister being born ( I was 5, open progressive family etc )
Watch MANY a sunrise with friends after wild nights on the beach or in the mountains.
Living in an abandoned building in Brunswick, Melbourne for a year and a half. No water or electricity, alone in a huge space, dumpster diving daily and feeling the feral pulse.
ERASMUS/ bilateral exchange for university in Germany! Weimar and the friends I made here will be with me forever.
Hitchhike 4000km from Germany to MNE and back!! Bosnia was BEAUTIFUL!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach guitar and some music theory.
In Australia I also ran spray painting workshops so people could get used to using a can.
I have been teaching my fellow students how to skateboard (roadboards/longboards) here in Germany.
