I moved to the Gold Coast in the middle of August 2018 and I am loving it. I am type of person who likes to find all the hidden gems when I travel and it’s been no different with the Gold Coast. So if you want to see waterfalls, sunrises, sunsets, climb mountains go on hikes etc I can take to some amazing places. Check my Instagram for pictures 📸 Jakejacobs88. I’ve been a gym Manager for 12 years now so I try and live an active life. I enjoy working out, going for hikes and playing sport.

I like to consider myself a down to earth guy that enjoys meeting new people and making them laugh. I try and see the best in everyone, one of my biggest passions is travelling but if I can’t travel then I love meeting people from from all over the world and hearing about their backgrounds and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It’s great tool to meet and connect with like minded people. Whilst i do work hard and sometimes have to work long hours. When I am free I want to socialise with my couchsurfers. So if you’re looking for just room for free I am not your ideal host. If you’re looking to socialise, be shown around and taken to some of the hidden gems 💎 the Gold Coast 😁 then please to request to stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

All like all sorts of music and it really depends on what sort of mood I am will determine what sort of music I listen to. I enjoy going to festivals as you get the opportunity to listen to lots of different genres of music. The best festival I have been to has to be Cinetrip in Budapest.

I enjoy watching all types of films well apart from horrors, I am brave enough for those. I love a good comedy or something that really makes you think.

I enjoy reading autobiographies and anything to do with psychology. My step mum (Sibel Hodge) is also an author and wrote look behind you.
