My name is Austin, and I'm currently 25 years old. I'm new to couchsurfing, but I have a love for rambling the globe, and travel has always been a big part of my life. I am a writer, musician, teacher, student, explorer and adventurer looking to get the best out of life. Currently on walkabout in Australia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Thailand as a 3-week backpacker in 2014 after college and stayed two years to live, travel, work, and start two companies. During the year of 2015, I visited 8 ASEAN countries and motorbiked the Ho Chi Min trail from Hanoi to Saigon... On a 125cc moped.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach songs on the guitar, a couple of jokes, freestyle rapping basics, and how to order a plethora of thai food dishes.

I can learn anything and everything. Every day is an opportunity for me to come closer to awareness of myself and the world around me.

I hope to share laughs, meals, sights, insights, and sunsets.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my views of the world and I can share my travel experiences.
