Hi there!

My name is Jonathan, and I'm super stoked you're checking out my profile right now.

I grew up in Canada, but a severe case of ants in the pants has lead me to my current home, Melbourne Australia.

I've been told I'm a interesting person, so if you'd like to know something, please just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that things are a little more stable in my life, I'd love to give back to this fabulous community. I'm always keen for a coffee/ meetup, and happy to show you around if I have time. Mayhaps we can take my dog for a walk together?

I also may be able to host occasionally, it really just depends on mine and my partner's schedules.
