Hi there, I'm Martin, a 26 year old guy from the UK. Although I don't feel very British as I have spent more of my twenties abroad. At the moment I'm trying to go all the way around the Australian coast and I want to meet as many people as possible while doing so. For me, the people you meet along the way are as important as the places themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to meet other like-minded people and share stories and discuss things such as the meaning of life and happiness. The accommodation is a bonus. I love it when you think back to a place and remember a specific person.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

LA Salami/Oasis/The Beatles...this could take a while.

Into the Wild

Picking a favourite book is too hard for me (I'm also an English grad)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the monkey bars for three minutes when I was 14

What I Can Share with Hosts

A beer and a story. I also make a killer (bacon and) goat cheese salad from my time as a sous chef.

I have made lots of international friends while studying abroad and may be able to help you get couches in lots of European destinations as a way to say thank you!
