Hi I'm Angus and I've just gotten back from spending a few months in Europe where I did a bit of Couchsrufing and was looking to return the favour now I'm home. My place is a bit out of the city, about 45 minute drive or an hour on public transport, right at the foothills of the Dandenong ranges national park, but there is a train that goes all the way into the CBD regularly on weekend or weekdays. I'd be more than happy to show you around the national park and other spots in this area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only heard good things about couch surfing from other people. Friends of mine have hosted guests and it seems like a really good way to meet people and have an authentic experience of a place. I've travelled a bit before and normally stay at hostels and guest houses so it would be nice to get a different perspective of a place.

Interests

I love the outdoors and all the activities that come with it, camping, fishing, the ocean, swimming, making fires, cooking, bushwalking, etc but I'm still keen to take on new things. I think I'd like to get involved in rock-climbing and surfing a bit more this year

I've bought a slackline with me on this trip so if that's something that interests you then I'd be more than happy to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 a friend and I bought motorbikes and did a trip from the south to the north of Vietnam over a couple of months, I've even got the scars to show for it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - Slack lining
Learn - new things to cook, about other cultures, traditions
Share - good company, interesting conversation, new music, food, wine & beer

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully some great conversations, a few laughs and a lot of fun! I also like cooking a lot and don't mind making vegetarian food if that's your thing! Curry, stir fry & different pasta dishes are my staples but I'm always willing to try something extra and find some new recipes.
