Hey, I'm Blaise. In January I started living the Australian dream, I quit my job to travel the world with my girlfriend Mikaela. So far we've been to Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, and Hong Kong -- and it has been bloody amazing. We've ridden motorbikes through fields of temples, hiked the Mt Everest trekking route (the photo of me is a few days into that trek), cliff-jumped into the Philippine sea, been peer pressured into a faux proposal on the dancefloor, tried our hand at surfing, learnt Dutch swear words and so much more. We plan to travel for as long as we possibly can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Half the flavour of a country is the people you meet. I'm on couchsurfing because I feel like y'all have some stories that I'll tell my grandkids one day.
