Aidan! 22 from Sydney's northern beaches

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Deferred university to ramble a year through south and north America, Cuba, Europe and, if all goes well, across into Mongolia. People make a trip, and much of mine is relatively solo, so a home willing to take me in every now and then would be terrific.

Interests

Rock climber, tea drinker, Seinfeld fanatic, dog lover.

I like nothing more than hiking somewhere peaceful and pitching my tent. But along the way I like meeting new friends, watching quality films, sipping local beer, swimming anywhere I can and cooking occasionally edible meals.

"As we crossed the Colorado-Utah border I saw God in the sky in the form of huge gold sunburning clouds above the desert that seemed to point a finger at me and say, 'Pass here and go on, you're on the road to heaven'." - Kerouac.

Lord of the Rings audiobooks have seen me through some very long bus trips across Argentina, to them I owe much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Held onto my friend to prevent him from being dragged off the roof of a rapidly moving bus by a low hanging powerline caught around his leg that he hadn't spotted on account of the distracting beauty of Nepalese foothills surrounding us on our route up into the mountains

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll make you bacon and eggs, tell you some stories, sew your clothing tears (haphazardly) and promise to take you surfing (at the beach and on my couch) if you're ever in Sydney
