I live with my partner Steve between Brisbane and Tasmania and also like spending time in the Americas (the Spanish speaking parts). At the moment we are in Brisbane, in an old house with a leafy garden near the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly to meet Spanish speakers, especially from America and the Caribbean. I also attend a great Spanish conversation group on Tuesday nights at the New Sydney Hotel - all Spanish speakers are welcome.
