Hello! I'm Kevin and new to couchsurfing.

I'm a young professional from Australia that has recently left my job in marketing to travel Europe alone for three months. While I am definitely looking forward to this adventure, it would be great to make some amazing friends along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To gain a new perspective on the world, and experience life in a new city from a local's point of view.

I'm also happy to share my experiences of Australia and provide intelligent and stimulating conversation.

Interests

Arthouse cinema, tennis, independent / live music, contemporary art, culture, trying quirky cafes and restaurants, meaningful conversation, and of course, meeting new people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be honest, I'm not sure I've done anything that qualifies as 'amazing'.

However, I'm sure my imminent three-month solo trip around Europe will change this!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good tennis match! I've been playing since I was five so I know my way around the court :)

Beyond that, can recommend some great independent, arthouse or foreign films you should see and provide intelligent and stimulating conversation.
