My names Luke, Im from a beautiful little beachside town called Newcastle in Australia.

Im a pretty chilled and easy going guy. I enjoy anything from sitting quietly with a book and a cup of coffee, to stumbling home with my ears ringing after a night of awesome live music.

Im on a tour of America to see the beautiful sights and meet the beautiful people before I have to commit to the grey existence of a comfortable and stable 9-5. JUST KIDDING, I work as a radio producer and love my job, a huge part of which is meeting and talking to people. In fact I've always had a genuine curiousity about the lives and thoughts of others which has lead me to meet and connect with a huge variety of people, so I always have questions to ask and an ear to listen!

If you've read this far then great job! Please mention the word "rollercoaster" so that I know you actually read my profile.

I should warn you now... I love puns. Word play is my bread and butter. Ive both made and lost friends through my excessive use of puns, you have been warned.

Luke out!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and am happy to offer a free accommodation option for those cash-strapped travelers.

Currently though I am a cash strapped traveler and I'm just very keen to meet people that are actually from the places Im visiting!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Im one of those annoying people who like all the music... for the most part I'm listening to the lyrics (which is obviously going to rule out a few sludge metal/hardcore genres).

But yeah, I can enjoy anything from Bob Dylan to Biggie Smalls. I just want the lyrics to take me on a journey. I also play guitar so im a sucker for a good acoustic performance.

When it comes to books I read all sorts but recently I've been really getting into sci-fi novels. Not recent ones though, I love the classic works of asimov, H.G Wells and Orwell. I have a great respect for the science fiction writers who were talking about complex technologies and ethical issues around them, long before computers or rockets even existed. Especially in the case of George Orwell whose name's brought up in every discussion about internet privacy, despite him never even seeing a computer.... im ranting now, whoops.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Managed to get through a Euro-trip without going insane after having my passport, visa and railpass stolen around the halfway mark... that was a pretty big achievement I think.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you how to make a tea bag rocket... curious about what that is?

Host me and find out!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Good company, a smile and as much chit-chat over coffee as you can handle.

I also promise to make a medium to high quality pun involving your name by the end of my stay.
