Hi, my name is Hayden, and I'm a travel addict. In 2016 I started working for STA Travel in Melbourne, which has definitely fuelled my addiction, and it's given me great opportunities to continue travelling, as well as expanding my knowledge on destinations and greatly expanded my list of places to go.

Currently I'm on a 3-and-a-half month trip around the world - I've recently spend 2 months travelling Asia, and now I'm ready to explore Europe! I'm hoping to have opportunities to stay with locals along the way, to get a more in-depth experience of the places I visit. After all, locals know best!

Besides travel, I also love photography and snowsports.. I'm travelling with my SLR so I'm always on the hunt for a great picture, and I'm hoping to fit in some spring skiing somewhere in the Alps along the way. I also enjoy movies and video games when I'm at home, so I'm happy to chat about the latest releases (if I've seen them, no spoilers please!) and all kinds of other nerdy stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently on a 3 month trip, so the budget is a little tight! Besides saving money though, I'm hoping couchsurfing will be a great way to meet locals and get a better insight into the places I visit. I'm also travelling with Vegemite, so I can share a bit of the Australian culture with the people I visit :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Before coming to Europe I was in Nepal, and I spent two weeks doing the hike up to Everest Base Camp. It was absolutely the hardest thing I've ever done, but totally worth it! I'm more than happy to show the pictures and tell you all about it :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Vegemite! It's a must-try for anyone visiting Australia, but I can bring it to you ;)

I'd also like to share my love of travelling - there aren't many things I enjoy more than talking about places I've been and will go, and hearing about the travel experiences of other people.
