ABOUT ME

I'm a relaxed, friendly and intelligent dude looking to make human connections all over the world.

It sounds ridiculous to say "I have a passion for people" like I'm applying for a job, but it's true! People rock!

PHILOSOPHY

We are not here to be unhappy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Melbourne and I WWOOFed in New Zealand (stayed on organic farms and helped with farmwork, gardening etc)

I've not hosted anyone yet but once I'm properly settled I'd really love to.
