oh well this is something I always find difficult :-) well my name is Mario and I live in Australia since 2008. I moved here from Germany after visiting Australia twice before and I fell in love with the country. Lots of things to do here and also the weather is amazing, specially in wintertime up here in north Queensland. I did quiet a bit of traveling in the passed and want to do more hopefully next year. The last big trip was on my motorbike thru South East Asia over a period of 6 month in 2011. I made lots of friends and the impressions you get while you are on the road is just amazing and you want more and more... The next trip is going to be from Australia all the way to Europe overland and then in to Africa. I'm going to be on the road for 2 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of offering people a place to stay, specially when they are traveling thru countries by bus, car or motorbike, I find it's a great way to make new friends and share your experience of travel. I would love to make some friends here from all over the world and the county's I'm going to travel thru on my way to Europe and meet these people in person and share my experience along my trip.
