Hello!
I'm Jason from Tasmania. I just arrived in the UK as part of an open ended working holiday. I've travelled a bit over the last two and a half years, including Canada, Central Americia, the USA, Asia and Europe. I've had a few quick trips to Scotland and Ireland, and I'm now looking for work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people , and being from the other side of the world enjoy meeting people from other countries especially. Me and my housemates briefly hosted backpackers at our sharehouse in 2013 which was a great opportunity. Of course, being a traveller on a budget is also a big reason, and I hope to be able to repay by hosting in future.

Interests

I love to travel, play guitar, snowboard when I can (So far I've been in New Zealand and briefly in California), listen to music, and learning Spanish. I also love the Tasmanian and Australian bush and outdoors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the Tirumala Venkateshwara Swami Temple in India, right after getting off the plane being informed by my friend in Bangalore that we were taking this 6 hour minivan trip with his family to the shrine. Once there we had to line up for 6 hours through kilometres of purpose built cages to deal with the 50,000 pilgrims who arrive every day. It wasn't like the touristy temples in the city. Apparently it is the most visited pilgrimage site in the world, and is a little intense.
