CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and contribute and have a positive influence on everyone I come in contact with.

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! I'm David! I am an outgoing, friendly and positive person. I have a professional job in International Student Recruitment and Marketing at a University in Perth, Western Australia. I am also a researcher, completing my PhD at a Melbourne-based University.

I love travelling, learning new languages and above all meeting new people. One of my greatest pleasures in life is to learn about the culture of others, to see how they think and see the world. I love learning about how other people think, live and what they believe in.

I have a particular passion for anything to do with Latin America and Southern European countries as I speak Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. In saying that, I love travelling to places in the world and in recent years I have been travelling more and more in Asia and absolutely loving it! I am a beginner in Mandarin :)

I like to look after myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week and have a healthy diet.

For those who are staying in my apartment in Melbourne, I hope you have an amazing time! I hope you feel at home in my place and you enjoy the building's stunning facilities and great location with access to everything! Melbourne is considered our cultural capital of Australia so please enjoy it and have a lot of fun!

For those who are hosting me in their places, please know that I treat every place with the upmost respect. I am very quiet and VERY VERY clean and tidy. I treat every place as if it was my own. I am a very active traveller so I am always out and about so I am hardly in the place.

Thanks for reading this and I hope to catch up with all soon!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Perth, Western Australia but I own an Airbnb in Melbourne, Victoria. If I have the opportunity to do so, I would like to host people. However, it may be hard for me to do so sometimes so I am very open to meeting up with travellers for a drink and have the opportunity to show them around Perth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of my best travel experiences have been through couchsurfing. For me, it is not so much about the money but about the experience of meeting local people and learning about their culture.
