Hey guys! My name’s Cal, and I’m excited to be back out travelling and back on the Couchsurfing app! I’m an Aussie, and this isn’t my first rodeo abroad - I like to think I am a bit more put together now and won’t end up losing half of my belongings or packing way too much, but I can’t make any promises! 😂 I’m currently travelling around the Americas (USA, Mexico, Colombia and finally Canada) and am very keen to meet lots of amazing people on my journey.

I’m a recent graduate in Data Science and am looking to experience as much as I can in life, so now that the lockdowns in Australia have ended and we can travel, let the good times roll!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve used couchsurfing 3 times in the past as a visitor, but unfortunately have never had the right living situation to host (although this is something I want to do when I eventually have my own place), and every time I have met people through this app I have had the most amazing wholesome experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

My absolute all time favourite movie is Into The Wild, and I am always happy to watch it myself or to share it with somebody new. In regards to my music taste, I like a broad range of music, but mainly enjoy chilled out Aussie indie music :)

If you like heavier music I am also a bit of a metalhead (fave band in that area is Atreyu), and also get around a lot of EDM music! (Drum n bass, Riddim, Tech House).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I’ve done is travelling to the USA this year to work on a Summer Camp. As a tennis instructor at Camp Pinewood, I’ve had some of the most unforgettable memories, and opened up so many more doors to travel and new experiences. I travelled the West Coast of the USA - living out of a van with four of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. These kinds of adventures have just been so incredible and are really what I want out of life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

While I don’t have much in the way of money, I make up for that with a hard-working and fun attitude! I’m always quick to give a helping hand, crack a joke or trade stories with new people :)
I consider myself to be a pretty good programmer so even though it is a niche skill I can be a handy person to have around if you are having tech issues. I can also DJ! Although I am not currently travelling with any equipment.
