THE LIFE OF LEO
Available in Australia from 7 April 2017

A small city Indonesian guy named Leo had always dreamed of travelling the world despite the negative remarks from his relatives. His first experience of backpacking in Southeast Asia had opened his eyes, which eventually brought him to Scotland for a Masters degree. After travelling for a bit around Europe, he started to think that travelling is tiring and costly. This has put him into thinking that it might be the time for him to settle down and start his 'life'. However, just before he made his final decision, an employer in Australia offered him a job for a couple of years. Is it going to be the new chapter of his adventure? Or will he give up on his dream of travelling the world? Meet the person to find out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great platform to meet similar-minded people who are thirsty for adventure and cross-cultural experience. There's nothing more exciting than being able to communicate and exchange ideas with people of different backgrounds and gain -or at least understand- different perspectives.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a teacher, my job is to teach my students to speak a foreign language, but it doesn't stop me from learning. I can teach you simple things from folding your plastic bag to speaking Indonesian, and at the same time I'm open to learn things from you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, so definitely I wouldn't mind cooking you something.
