My name is Austin and I am.new to couch surfing. I quit my job to travel the world over the next 6 months. I'm 7 weeks into my travels and on my 5th country of 11. I love the opportunity to meet new people and experience new things. I'm really excited to be in Australia for the next 2 months and am new to couch surfing.

I value local guidance/information from like minded people who can assist in where to go to have fun and eat good food. I love to cook and also love music! I'm into all genres but especially electronic music.

Life to me is all about building relationships with people and sharing those experiences/memories with each other. If I could sum life up into one word it's Relationships. Always focus on spreading positive energy out and that same energy always find its way back in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my 5th country in 7 weeks and I haven't heard of anything like this. When I'm traveling I don't pre plan too much. I like to gadge weather as well as gain local insight.

That's exactly what couch surfing is all about. Connecting with locals who have vast knowledge and sharing interests/experiences. It's a beautiful idea and I am stoked to be a part of it.

I do not have any references as of yet, as I am brand new to this, but know it's just a matter of time.

Interests

I love coordinating events and sharing memories with others. I love to cook and to eat good food. I love music and art, and am especially looking forward to finding the underground electronic scene in Australia.

I have a passion for adventure and experiencing new things with new people. I am an adrenaline junky, love extreme sports as well as scuba diving. I also spend most my time outside enjoying the sun's rays and trekking on/off the beaten path!

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae, Electronic, Classic Rock, Indie, Rap, hip hop, basically all genres of music.

I've recently been reading books that are focused on personal growth.

I love action and comedies. But overall a lover of all movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just finished 12 days in the phillipines and did alot scuba diving. There is nothing like breathing underwater 60 feet deep. Being one with fish, coral, etc is truly breath taking. I can not compare it to anything else I've done, it's by far the coolest thing I've ever experienced.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my knowledge with others. In no way shape or form do I know much, but what I have learned I love to share with others. One of my biggest passion is cooking, I love sharing flavors with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer great conversation and a fun, outgoing personality. I can assist in cleaning your place, can alo teach you or just cook you some bomb meals.

I want to provide value for the host as much as they are providing/assisting me. I'm not looking to be a couch bum.
