I am originally from Australia and have been living in Berlin since 2012. I quit my 9 to 5 job in June 2015 and am now running a small e-commerce company with my housemate from our apartment.

I am easy-going, considerate, and always up for a laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested to meet new people visiting or staying long-term in Berlin. I also want to start taking my work on the road more often and would love to CS and meet some locals in other cities.

Interests

I enjoy cooking and since quiting my job and becoming a vegetarian I have had the time and motivation to develop a new repertoire of recipes.

My ideal summer activity is hanging out in a park or on the canal with friends either having some beers or BBQing, or both.

I like to read both literature and non-fiction books and also essays or articles on topics I am interested, such as politics or history.

I have never been a large music fan but am slowly developing a bigger interest in classical music and jazz. For partying I usually go to techno clubs (there's not much else in Berlin!) but I also like to dance to 90's hits or classic rock when I come accross a bar that is playing it!

I am always up for having interesting conversations about travel, other cultures, an interesting book you've read, or anything else really!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Road trip from Berlin to Marseille, through the Swiss Alps and the Italian and French reviera. Stunning scenery coupled with a relaxed road-trip vibe and the freedom to sleep wherever we wanted in the van.

Teach, Learn, Share

English is my mother toungue, so I can help with that if you want to improve or just practice with a native. I can also teach you Australian slang if you would prefer!

Also my knowledge of Australia and Berlin if you are thinking about travelling there.
