About Me

I won't be travelling anytime soon because I've been busy with work, I am trying to return the favour to the CS community for all the people that looked after me overseas.

Born and lived in Melbourne all my life (except for a period of intense travel overseas on my motorbike). Visitors help me see my own city with new eyes.

You are welcome to stay depending on -
1. If we are busy or not.
2. If you are genuinely interested to learn and experience what it's like living in Melbourne and not just after free accommodation.

Our home is not suitable for very brief stays or if you only want to see touristy things because it's not near downtown. It's more suitable for visitors who are interested in people, staying with a family and seeing what normal life is like in the suburbs of Melbourne. We are very near the train station.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Whilst one part of the experience is the environments and natural wonders of each region, another very important and memorable experience is meeting local people. I am always interested in people, local customs and traditions and how people live in different parts of the world.

Interests

Recently I have become interested in film photography but rarely have any reasons to leave the house.
