Hey there! I'm Jacob, a 27-year-old adventurer hailing from the sunny Gold Coast in Australia. I’m traveling with my partner Clem around south east Asia.

Clem is also 27 and comes from Marseille in France. Clem is fluent in French, English, and Italian. She works online as a freelance copywriter!

By day, I'm knee-deep in the world of IT, but by night, I'm pouring cold beers as a bartender. I've thrown caution to the wind and embarked on a globe-trotting journey with no fixed plans or return ticket—I thrive on the thrill of spontaneity! When I'm not busy exploring the nooks and crannies of new cities, you can find me lost in the melodies of indie and alternative music or giggling at the latest comedy flick. I've got a green thumb and a passion for tropical plants, permaculture, and all things gardening. Oh, and did I mention I'm a culinary enthusiast? I'm always on the hunt for new recipes to whip up in the kitchen!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've joined Couchsurfing to connect with fellow adventurers and immerse myself in the vibrant tapestry of cultures around the world. For me, travel isn't just about ticking off landmarks—it's about forging genuine connections with locals and experiencing life through their eyes. I believe that sharing stories, swapping tips, and, of course, crashing on a couch or two, is the best way to make unforgettable memories on the road.

Música, películas y libros

My music playlist is an eclectic mix of indie vibes, alternative beats, and a sprinkle of pop for good measure. As for movies, I have a soft spot for comedy—they never fail to lift my spirits and leave me in stitches! When it comes to books, I love diving into anything that sparks my curiosity and expands my horizons.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Picture this: me, on national TV, gushing about my love for tropical plants! I had the incredible opportunity to share my passion with the world and lead a thriving plant society boasting over 800 members. It was a surreal experience, and one that I'll cherish forever.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm a firm believer in the power of knowledge exchange! Whether it's swapping gardening tips, sharing culinary secrets, or learning the local lingo, I'm always eager to soak up new skills and insights. From whipping up a mean Aussie barbecue to imparting wisdom on the wonders of permaculture, I'm ready to dive headfirst into the wonderful world of cultural exchange.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

As your guest, I bring a zest for life, a thirst for adventure, and a whole lot of positive vibes! Beyond that, I'm more than happy to lend a helping hand around the house, whip up a delicious meal (or two!), or regale you with tales of my travels. Plus, if you're ever in need of some greenery to liven up your space, I've got you covered—I never leave home without a few tropical plant cuttings to share the love!
