ABOUT ME

Aussie guy living in Perth with my Chilean partner, Helmut.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

my partner has been a member of couch surfing for awhile, and introduced me to it. We have enjoyed hosting a few people and I have surfed on one short trip to Argentina. Looking forward to meeting more interesting people in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am fairly new to Couchsurfing. With my partner we have hosted a few people, both in Perth, Australia and in Santiago de Chile. I have also visited couch surfers and now friends in Argentina and met other through couch surfing gatherings. It has been a great way to meet people who love travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an eclectic taste in movies, music and books. I do enjoy foreign language movies to see different perspectives in story telling. Music - I like everything from classical through blues, jazz, world music to pop and rock. In recent years I have tended to read more classic literature and especially love Dostoyevsky - but I must try more modern writers.
