About Me

ABOUT ME

I am Luke! But you can call me whatever you like.

I'm travelling at the moment, mostly in Europe with the intention of finding a place to live for a few years :) I am one of those lucky people with dual citizenship (Australia/Italy) so I on on living in Italy for a bit to learn the language properly and live the culture of my family!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in doing whatever it is that makes you happy (without hurting people obviously).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started by participating in events in London, Belgium summer camp and Mont Royal summer camp in 2014. I hope to go to many more events and meets around Europe to make new friends and catch up with old ones! I can think of no better way to instantly meet great people from around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had a wonderful experience. Meeting other couchsurfers always changes my travel plans because people give you ideas for all sorts of places to visit and other CS events to attend. The friends I have made on the way have changed my life completely and I love it 100%

Interests

Soccer (sport in general)
Travel
People I haven't met yet
New cultures
Animals
Cheesy British crime shows

I have come to realise I don't have my own passion in life.. yet. Yet being the key word :)
I love listening to other people who have their own passions, no matter what it is. I love to see the fire in people's eyes when they talk about the things they are passionate about.. It makes me excited to one day find my own :)

Music, Movies, and Books

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Pixar and Disney films
Anything Lord of the Rings related
Harry Potter

In regards to music, I don't really have my own favourite genre or anything.. I only really listen to music when others play theirs, I like most types of music :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made more friends travelling than I thought possible..

I was so worried before leaving Australia alone for the first time on my big Europe/America trip.. My main fear being, I wouldn't make any friends.. How silly was I.

I have made more friends on my travels than I have back home! It has been the most amazingly and fantabulously wonderful experience connecting with so many people from all around the world, an experience I will never forget and continue to have throughout my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share travelling tips and experiences with others. Although I am not as well travelled as many on here but we all have unique adventures to tell!

I also have Vegemite.. the condiment of the Australian gods. I hope that I always have some to share with new people I meet.. be prepared ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

It sounds silly or boring to some, but I offer great company. Always up for interesting conversations over dinner, drinks or both!

I am currently stocked with Vegemite if you dare to try ;)
