Hi I'm Andrew, I'm 23 years old and from Melbourne, Australia. I enjoy skiing, mountain biking and rock climbing, but most of all I enjoy travelling and meeting new people! I'm currently travelling around France after having spent the winter skiing in Chamonix. I'm also (slowly) learning French. I hope to keep travelling around France until November then make my way to Spain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to immerse yourself with locals whilst providing a culture exchange between host and traveler.
