Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in europe quite a bit, always a good time!

Interests

- Hitchhiking, one of the best ways to fully experience a trip! Awesome way to meet tons of different people.

- Craft beer, got really into this while I lived in Australia. I run a microbrewery in my hometown now.

- Cooking, worked in high-end restaurants as a chef and sous-chef. I love Indonesian and Italian food! I grew up working with french cuisine.

- Reading, love to just read hours straight.

- Travelling, I'm always busy planning new trips and trying to figure out where to go next.
