About Me

Hi! My name is John. I’m a recently-graduated Australian who, after six years of university, wants to go and see the world. I’m a reporter and journalist, so I love conversations and meeting diverse people. I love heading outdoors but can also get lost for hours in a city. Let’s cook some dinner together and share our stories :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet and converse with people from all over the world. I especially want to meet locals when I go travelling or to help backpackers in Australia learn more about my country.

Interests

I love hiking and spending time outside. I’m a nerd for museums and art galleries. And I really enjoy lazy days on the beach or having a picnic.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m into folk and country music, and I’m always trying to read two books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I walked the Camino in Spain, but daily I’m looking for more amazing things to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share stories with each other over a good meal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A comfy house with a decent sofa bed. There is always tea and coffee (and wine possible) in our house.
