My name is Damian, was born and bred in Rotorua (New Zealand) and did the big dash to Sydney Australia in 1999 for a new beginning, opportunity and a change in lifestyle.
I moved here with my best mate and the original plan was to save some money then head to Europe and chase the waves..... However the planned changed for me, we moved straight to Cronulla (Sydney, Australia) and I never left.

17 years later and now that dream is about to be reality!

I'll be spending two months in Europe, first flying into Berlin early June then will venture onto France, Portugal then Spain.... Not 100% if it'll be in that order.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel couch surfing would be a way to meet people, gain local knowledge on what to see and do.
