About Me

Hello world,

After several years working in the video games industry as an events manager I have decided to pack it all in and start travelling and writing in the hopes to maybe one day be a semi-successful fiction writer. So in theory you could be housing a soon to be famous next J.K. Rowling?

I love travelling and am currently doing my WHV in Australia in prep to launch into Asia and go from there.

I like to think of myself as a genuinely nice person, that will be fun to be around and willing to go on adventures and explore with.

Thanks,
Mark :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because I'm poor and I think it would be a nice way to meet awesome people.

I'm currently looking for a bit of help travelling around Australia. right now I want to get to Melbourne, but there's other bits I'm interested in also. After 3 months living in Sydney, one month at a surf camp and now over 2 months in Byron, I have hit the tail end of my bank account, looking for work and I need a little bit of help in my travels but am also super intrigued to see if this site works and I can make new friends also.

In the mean time I can provide great company and I make a great cup of English tea!
