G'day! I'm Matt, though people have always called me 'Cheokolate' (pronounced like the confectionary, 'chocolate'), which also happens to be the name of my blog! I'm an Australian Travel Writer, Photographer and Videographer indefinitely overseas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm eager to submerge myself in local experiences and meet like-minded people!

Interests

I love getting into nature and feel most at home when I'm hiking (especially thru-hiking). When I'm not in the great outdoors, I'm devouring food with a big smile on my face. I've even earnt the nickname of 'human garbage disposal' and 'the hoover' from my friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favourite reads include 'A Little Life', 'All The Light We Cannot See', 'The Kite Runner' and anything Murakami related!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

More recently ...

I just returned from a 1.5-month adventure working as a videographer for an outdoor expedition company in Antarctica and South Georgia. So, if you can imagine being surrounded by icebergs and animal life from a Nat-Geo documentary with David Attenborough, you'll get a pretty decent insight into my wild experience!
