Hi! I'm Francis, a 22-year-old half-Aussie half-Hungarian student currently living and studying in The Hague, Netherlands. Having recently finished a gap year working as a divemaster and underwater photographer on the Great Barrier Reef and in Fiji, I moved to Europe in August and am loving how everything is so close and how international everything is here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just discovered this and I'm excited to use it to continue to meet interesting people all over the world, as I did and enjoyed in my year working in tourism. As soon as I get my student life in order here, I would also love to be able to host people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
