Hi, I am a 27 year old, travelling Australia and then China with my girlfriend, 22.

We have been house sitting around Melbourne for three months and working/volunteering for charities in our spare time.

I manage a small cafe in South Melbourne and volunteer for a sustainability charity. Betony is currently a Visiting Academic at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute.

We are both very fun, interested in seeing and doing a lot and getting some work experience from around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are house sitting until mid-April but there are times when we are between sits when we need somewhere to stay.

We don't know many people in Melbourne as neither of us are from Australia, and so we also think that this would be a good way to meet new people.

One of the main reasons we wanted to travel was to see the world, experience different cultures and meet new people from various backgrounds. We have found that house sitting is really good for this, and imagine that couchsurfing is as well!
