Just moved to London on a 2-year work visa to experience life here, travel through Europe and meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to live with a Couchsurfer in Brisbane and attended some events and parties and really liked the philosophy of everyone I met. I haven't been in a position to host anyone in the last couple of years but hopefully that will change after my trip. I want to use Couchsurfing as a way to really connect with locals and experience their way of life in a way that might not be possible just staying in hostels. And to make awesome new friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in Patagonia. 5 days hiking and camping in the elements, drinking from glacial streams, almost dying in a freak gas bottle fight accident among some of the coolest nature in the world. Topped off with some homemade Brazilian firewater at the end. Holy cow

Teach, Learn, Share

Hoping to practice my Portuguese while in Brazil. I can help with English in return. I can also show you how to have a hairy chest

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm easygoing, up for anything and genuinely interested in establishing new friendships. And a female friend once said I clean dishes better than any guy she's met!
