About Me

I'm an Australian, deep thinker, traveler. In 2022 I'll be mostly visiting Europe and Mexico. I won't have a permanent home for a while so I'm not currently accepting guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thought it seems like a great way to find somewhere to stay, meet great people, and experience the soul of a place. And everyone I've met has been super friendly and not a murderer so far...
