Hey, I'm Claire. I'm friendly, positive, passionate, active and respectful. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures.

Had the best time travelling around SE Asia for nearly 5 months and now I'm heading to Australia to try out life Down Under for a while. Looking for a host to show me all that Melbourne has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because it feels like a great opportunity to really get to know a place through meeting local people. I've been travelling for a while now and looking for a different experience from staying in hostels and meeting other travellers. I love the idea of a worldwide community.
