Hi there! I'm Kenneth and I'm from Sydney, Australia.

I finished studying a Bachelor of Media (PR and Advertising) at UNSW in 2018 and hope to find a job in music marketing or management in the future.

Born and bred in Sydney and been there my entire life. Going around Europe has been an eye-opening experience for me. Jumping around from country to country within a couple of hours is completely unheard of for an Australian. From the travel I've done so far, I've realised how similar all of us humans are even though we come from different countries, speak different languages and were raised amongst different cultures.

As you can see below, I love my music. One day I hope to manage a band and take them all around the world. It'll be a lot of hard work but I think I'd be the right person for it. I'm also learning Spanish and Serbian at the moment so if you can teach me those languages then double points to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting and hanging out with locals is a major reason of why I'm on Couchsurfing (and also because they know their city best). I believe that having a local person introduce a traveller to their local culture is super important to keep the authenticity of the place. As a tourist, you really only stick around the touristy parts but with a local, you'll be able to find the places that normal tourists miss out on.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH

I can teach you about Australian culture and help you with English if you'd like!

LEARN

I'd love to learn the language of the people I stay with. I'm currently learning Spanish and Serbian online but haven't had too many opportunities to practice speaking. Conversation is the key so I'm open to learning whichever language(s) you speak. Also, any hobbies that someone might have I'm happy to learn e.g. juggling knives or eating fire.

SHARE

I volunteered for a student-run magazine at UNSW and got to meet and interview some musicians. I can share with you some of the Youtube interviews I've done with them during my time at uni.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Australian culture, a love of Australian music, and good conversation :)
I can also share stories of my travels around Europe so far!
