My partner Patrick and I are a couple from Australia, who have recently moved to London for a working holiday.
I am a primary school teacher and Patrick is a chemical engineer. We both have a passion for travelling and learning more about the world and the people in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would love to see as much of the world as we can before we head back to Australia and meet new people along the way. Couchsurfing would allow us to understand different cultures and ways of living in different parts of the world.
I also feel like you can learn a lot more about a place and how people live there when you can talk to a local and ask questions.
