About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be able to return the favour!

ABOUT ME

Couchsurfing around Europe/Tunisa was simply awesome. Then on to the USA where I again stayed with some great people. Now I'm settling in München and finding a life for me!

PHILOSOPHY

I've finally finished my teaching degree, have travelled across the world and am now looking to start my life in München to enjoy all things Deutsch, Bayerisch and Europäischen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always one of the fun ones in a group! Always willing to get the ball rolling whether it's in a living room, in a park or in a club!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After being introduced to it by an american, couchsurfing fanatic in Germany I was sure it was something I would be interested in. My first experience of couchsurfing was in Tunisia and an unforgettable experience - and every further couchsurf has been just as incredible.

Whenever I stay in hostels I tell everyone about the experiences and am slowly recruiting more and more people to the awesome thing that is Couchsurfing.

Having now couchsurfed on 3 continents I can truly say it's an incredible thing to experience and be apart of. Cannot wait to get into it more!

Interests

Love films - like I SERIOUSLY love film. Have worked in video stores for about 5 years - love everything from John Woo to Ang Lee to Alejandro González Iñárritu and of course Quentin Tarantino!

I am hugely passionate about music (and have been known to send people couchrequests based purely on their taste of music - always works a charm!)

If you want to check out what I'm REALLY into check out my last.fm account www.last.fm/user/scoby_2010 and also, get it yourself - it's a great network!

If you're looking for the abridged version i'm into everything from Chopin to Ben Folds to Air to Coldplay and especially into movie soundtracks.

During my travels in 2008 I have met some of the coolest people, seen some of the greatest things and been to some amazing places!

Since then I've done a smaller trip around SE Asia, which was phenomenal! I was also lucky enough to check out New Zealand briefly before I left Australia!
