Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To experience as many places as possible
ABOUT ME
I've been living in London for 6 years and just spent 4 months in Vienna to practice German and see more of Europe and am now spending a month in Hamburg before I go back to Australia for 6 months. I want to get closer to the rest of the world. I'm a fairly relaxed, adventurous spirit. I love coffee, craft beer, wine, cinema, old buildings, gates that are older than my home country and exploring the world.
PHILOSOPHY
To experience as much of the world as possible and do it in a way that doesn't make life more difficult for everyone else.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I haven't been active on couch surfing but was an airbnb host for quite a while. I want to branch out into travelling as a couchsurfer and host. Although we're no longer hosting as we have moved, this is my airbnb profile with reviews: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/users/show/358116. Hopefully we'll host in the future. There are possibilities for the couch becoming available soon.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Stayed with a host in Oslo and it was such a wonderful, social, unexpected experience

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I worked for 8 months on a cruise ship, which at the time was tedious and infuriating but I look back on it with fondness and slight surprise I actually did it.
Seeing Hubbard Glacier in Alaska every tuesday for 5 months and going out once on a boat, cruising around the bay in a survival suit was pretty awesome.
Teach, Learn, Share
Maybe I could trade language skills. My fluent English for your German. Seriously, my German needs help!
I need someone to teach me guitar, and not let me be slack about it. I have one in my room but it's been woefully neglected.
My techie skills involve video production, editing, motion graphics and the like.
