My name is Paul and i'm from Sydney, Australia.

I am friendly, easy to get along with and have a wide range of interests. While travelling, i like to get to know the local culture, history and language as much as possible - and try to only eat local cuisine of course!

In addition to English i also speak German very well, as well as some basic Swedish. I've lived in Bamberg, Germany for a year and am going to be living and studying in Uppsala, Sweden for a semester in 2017.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
