Hey all! Australian, 30s, from Canberra - Love going on outdoor adventures, bouldering, talking deep or talking rubbish, and playing cards. I definitely have a few card games to teach. I'm learning German too, also wir können auf Deutsch sprechen, wenn du willst. Sober rover, keen to learn more about Tassies environmental situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Adventure and new friends. Never mind that it's free accommodation - my favourite experiences in new countries have been after making friends with fellow travellers. This is an awesome network of trust in others, and that's the kind of traveller I aim to be. Adventurous, trusting, and spontaneous.
