I think that when you travel somewhere you only get half a view of a place stuck in a hotel. I want to experience the culture, people, food and music of a place and in my experience the best place to find that is in the homes of locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and greet and become friends with many amazing people from around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Having travelled through the world, I can share my experiences and travel tips. Otherwise travelling provides me time and opportunity for self development through meeting other people with common interests and passions in life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, laughs, beers and travel stories.
