CURRENT MISSION

To meet the world and hear everyone's story!

ABOUT ME

I finished my first year as a medical doctor at the start of 2010. For now, I'm taking 6 months off to travel Europe, Iran, Central Asia and China.

I've been fortunate enough to have traveled to many places around the world. I think the travel bug got into my system after having lived in America for one year when my Dad was on a teaching exchange. I'm traveling with my Dad from Iran onwards on my current trip.

Really enjoy meeting people, sharing experiences and learning anything.

I love music and am always keen to get into new styles. I particularly enjoy electronic music. I also play the guitar and am keen to jam with anyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Couch surfing would be a part of my philosophy. People really making the most of the goodness in the world, which I believe has a flow on effect to all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I move around a lot in Melbourne where I work so have not had any people stay with me in Melbourne. However, my family home in Ballarat has had people from Germany, Russia, Israel and India. I love the idea. Have taken a few people camping around my area in Australia and have caught up with them again at their home town. Experiences that would never have happened if it wasn't for sites like this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have yet to stay at anyone's place but have caught up with people who have stayed at mine in Australia
