Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To retain the travelling experience while being back in Brisbane...You can help me with that.
ABOUT ME
I am primarily a student in Brisbane, Australia where I study engineering, french, german and will start italian soon. I also work at the Belgian Beer Café in Brisbane where I am one of the managers. Next year, I will be moving to france for 2.5 years to finish off my masters degree. I really can't wait.
PHILOSOPHY
I think it is extremely important to learn another language. This allows interaction with other types of people and makes travelling easier. At the moment, I speak English and French fluently. Have just started learning German and I really enjoy it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am interested in sharing a beer, coffee and conversation in Brisbane and I can show you my city. It is kind of hard to set you up with a couch at the moment because my current living arrangements don't permit. When I move into a decent place, this will all change.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
For the moment, I don't have any official couch surfing stories but I have been travelling alot staying on the couches of people I met in Australia. I have also hosted a few people from Japan, France and New Caledonia through my school.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach to a certain degree english. I can also teach you where to go in Brisbane for a good coffee, beer, wine or meal.
