Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people, to learn more more about the real places, the food, the culture. To share anything I have, anything i have learnt, company, good times and conversation.

Mainly looking for cool, kind and authentic people that would like to hang out for a meal, and share their favourite places, restaurants, lifestyle and interests.

Especially would love to find people that might like to ride with me on any cycle tour journey for a few hours, the day or as long as you like.

I have recently started to take Japanese language lessons at the local university once a week so starting to get some very basic understanding.

I would be a good and patient English teacher and happy to share what I know. I can listen well and talk a lot.......pretty much about anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Open, honest, fun and entertaining conversation, a very positive and inquisitive view of life and the world.

I love to share and have a very open and curious mind to learn about people and the world. I want to know about you and your life and happy to share mine.

Lots of stories about life in Australia, travelling, sharing culture. Very basic guitar lesson.

I would offer to cook Australian cuisine but we are a very multicultural country and I cook Asian, Italian and Mexican often.....i don't really know what real Australian cuisine is beyond the cliches of BBQ, Vegemite on toast, etc.
