About Me

I am on a gap year of travel after graduating university and before starting work. I'm keen to meet local people to get an inside view of your city.

I'm a chilled out guy that is happy to do everything: cooking local food, going on hikes, sampling the local bars, chats about politics, etc

Back in Australia, I was working in geography research and spending my free time latin dancing, sailing and socialising. Salsa and bachata party recommendations are welcome - so far Berlin has been the best, but is your city better?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to meet locals and to get a better idea of what it's like to live in a bunch of different cities.
