About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I absolutely love Europe and don´t want to leave. I live in Prague and will probably never leave, unless I go to Spain hehe.

ABOUT ME

I am a chilled out Australian gay guy who enjoys many many things! Film, music, languages, sleeping, eating, swimming.. EVERYTHING! I live in Prague and absolutely love this beautiful city. I am an English Teacher. I love to meet new people, and I would love to show people this city!

PHILOSOPHY

To live life to your fullest. Treat those around you the same as you would like to be treated, you can never have too many friends. Always have goals, never ever give up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I have one bed available in my bedroom for possible travellers. WEEKENDS ONLY! Let me know well in advance too. I go to Spain quite often so I am not in Prague every weekend.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At first some friends told me about it. It took me a while to get involved. But once I surfed in Berlin I went to a meeting and got to know MANY amazing people. I love nothing more than to talk about any random shit with people from other countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing my favourite band Sigur Rós play their home town of Reykjavík in Iceland. My whole trip to Iceland was a real dream I have had for a few years, so to finally be there was incredible and I intend to go back there as soon as possible.

Living in Lappland Sweden and working on a Siberian Husky Farm during Summer. It was the solitude that I needed after the hectic Londoner life. It gave me time to unwinde and get in touch with the amazing nature up there as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I mentioned before.. Treat others as you would like to be treated. I would never surf a couch and spend almost no time with the host.. They are giving you a place to sleep so get to know them and take them out for some drinks. I have met some INCREDIBLE people being a surfer.
