CURRENT MISSION

To meet new friends in Australia July-Dec 2010

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone!
I'm an Englishman living and working in Stockholm, Sweden. Am rather new to couchsurfing so, please, be gentle!
I am primarily here to look for new friends, acquaintances, fellow travellers and guides for my holiday in Australia. I've just spent my first 3 months in Sydney and now I'm living in Melbourne until the end of the year.

Oh and I'm looking to find Australia's best malted milkshake so if you have any tips then drop me a line!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people the way that you would want to be treated yourself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met a few people through the groups pages and plan to take it from there. I'm still exploring the site and looking forward to meeting some new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met up with some friendly Australians who want to learn Swedish, and some travellers from the US and Germany. All positive experiences. Most recently I met some couchsurfers in Melbourne and we wandered round the city together. We also took in a free concert at the Recital Centre

Interests

Cooking, going out for meals (Indian, Italian, Thai), spending way too much time on facebook, reading (just finished the Sookie Stackhouse novels), watching TV (Aussie comedy show Kath & Kim is a fav) and walking in beautiful Stockholm. I also enjoy listening to music (a wide range of stuff) and relaxing with friends over a coffee or a beer
