Everyone calls me Skandy. I'm new to CS, hence the sparse profile. Will continue to update and expand, but if you have any questions pop me a message, I'm v friendly :)

Love meeting new people and always hunting for the next adventure. Passionate about music, sports and new technology.
My general philosophy is summarised by the following: Aim to leave things better than you found them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Tired of paying over half my salary on rent, I decided to explore and find somewhere better suited to the life we all want to lead. Want to meet new people, but would rather meet locals!

What I Can Share with Hosts
