About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To show people who are new to Melbourne just how great this city is

ABOUT ME

Out there, adventurous guy who loves to meet new people - I love to meet new people over a nice meal and a few drinks. I work 9-5 in South Yarra and go for a run and hit the gym after that. Happy to meet people to show them around this awesome city and provide a comfy couch to crash on (After a meal and a few drinks of course!)

Whatever you do, just don't mess me around - I am really busy and I hate having my time wasted. Don't say I didn't warn you ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you wish to be treated, we were all born equal so I don't see why that should change.

Constantly challenge yourself, attempt new things and never doubt in your own ability.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to host people from all over, and I guess stays of a few nights and up to a week are fine with me, more so if we get along! I am very social and there are always lots of people in my house, so please don't apply to stay with me if you are looking for somewhere to rest/sleep during the day or have early nights on weekends - this can be a bit of a party house as I love to entertain both my friends and my surfers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted 50+ people now and just loved the experience and the fun we are having, so I am hoping to host a few more over the next couple of years. I travelled a lot when I was younger and I am looking to do the same in the future.

I understand we are all busy and have things to do but I always do my best to make time to hang out with my surfers, but apologies in advance if this can't happen.

All I ask from my surfers is that they respect my house and my space (This is NOT a free hotel) and if you use something, you wash it and put it back where you found it ;)
