WHY I'M LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY

I'm what people would call a sailor I guess, I've been living on a ship for the last 1 year and 3 months months 8-9 of which were at sea. My Vessel the Sam Simon arrived in Bremen at the start of the month after our Whale defence campaign in the Faroe Islands.
I'm now having a little trip through Europe and Asia on my way home to Melbourne.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, I really just can't get enough of it!
A few friends of mine have traveled to many places with couch-surfing and it sounded like an EPIC concept. I also really enjoy learning and experiencing different cultures.

I can't wait to meet you

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent 4-5 months a on a conservation ship protecting the worlds oceans from Illegal fishing.
During this campaign I spent about 1-2 months in Antarctica, sailed around the African coasts crossed the equator, the prime moridium and sailed in the Pacific ocean, the Southern Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
