I'm from Sydney, Australia. I have been learning Spanish for the last few years and I will be traveling from the US in November 2016 and eventually settling down somewhere in Central/ South America.

I'm a very easy going, relaxed, open minded person who loves a laugh and to have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2008 I traveled around Japan for three months and was able to do a few home stays with different families. It was a very good experience to get to know local people and gain a greater knowledge of their culture.

So I would like to continue to stay with locals and not just other tourists. And hopefully make some new friends along the way.

Interests

I'm currently learning Spanish and attend regular meetup groups to practice and to socialize. In my free time I surf, play tennis, sabre fence and do photography. I have a lot of interests as I enjoy trying new things.
