Hi I'm Jacques from Hobart, Tasmania. I am down to earth, chilled-out and reliable.

I recently travelled around Europe for 4 months and surfed a few times, so am keen to give something back in my home town of Hobart. If you are looking for a place to crash and someone to show you around, hit me up.
