Hi I'm Joel! I am a 22 year old who has recently graduated from university and I am currently on a year long backpacking trip around South East Asia and Australia. I have got my working holiday visa approved and will be headed to Australia very soon. I am hoping to settle for a few months and find work in Sydney and save up to travel the east coast up to Brisbane. I am quite a foodie and love trying new foods, I enjoy hiking, cooking, and anything to do with technology. I am also hoping to learn to surf whilst I'm in Australia too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet interesting people, with similar and different views and experiences to my own.

I have never couch surfed before, so hoping to step out of my comfort zone a little and experience a different side of travelling to staying in hostels.
