CURRENT MISSION

Quick update on this trip:
I've just moved to Albury Wodonga to complete studies in Outdoor Recreation. I'm heading to Wollongong for a First Aid Course this weekend and looking for a place to stay on Saturday night (18th) immediately after the first aid course finishes. After that I'd love to check out Wollongong and surrounding areas in the next few days (but don't neccessarly require accom as I don't have set plans yet!).

I plan on climbing at Nowra / Point Perpendicular the following week. If you are able to host me on Saturday night that would be amazing. I'd be happy to share some fitness advice or help out where I can. I'm currently studying to guide outdoor activities and have owned / operated a fitness business for the last 3 years. I would be happy to take you on a climbing adventure at Nowra if you're free the following week!!

Looking forward to catching up with you!

ABOUT ME

My name is Stan, I grew up just outside Brisbane, Australia and have been living on the Central Coast, NSW for the last few months. I'm involved in the fitness industry and ran a fitness business back in Brisbane. I spend a lot of my time exercising, adventuring, learning and teaching.

I will be traveling a lot in the next few years and have joined couchsurfing.com as a way to connect with people around the globe, share new experiences, help travelers experience Australia, and make connections for future travel.

I have a lot of hobbies and interests and really enjoy trying and experiencing new things! I'm a pretty adventurous eater, and do a lot of outdoor activities.

Check out my instagram (@stanmeissner) for some of the things we get up to.

TRAVELING FITNESS PEOPLE/ATHLETES:

I'm involved in Olympic Weightlifting, Gymnastics, Triathlons, Strongman, and NFL style training. I like Crossfit. I also run group fitness sessions. Bring your shoes if you want to do some exercise!

I'm friendly and get along with most people and looking forward to hearing from you!

PHILOSOPHY

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet some Awesome people and share Awesome experiences. Would rather stay with locals while I'm in town!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted a number of people in the past, all positive experiences. I've been lucky enough to meet some Amazing people on my travels and looking forward to meeting more traveling and hosting.

I am unable to host at the moment AS I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING but am happy to be a resource for people in Southeast Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast etc.).

I will be traveling a lot in the next few years and would like to mix with people from around the globe for fun times and future travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been very fortunate to have connected with Awesome people in the past.

While traveling, I've become friends with Awesome people who have taken me around their local area to experience their culture. I've also met people who have welcomed me into their homes and treated me as part of their family.

On more than one occasion I've been lucky enough to have had local business owners let me stay in their gym (it was like all my Christmases came at once). It's a really Awesome feeling to experience and share this kind of generosity.

At home, I've met some Awesome people traveling through Brisbane and have had a lot of fun taking them around and teaching them things like how to surf! We've hosted in the past but don't have any room at the moment!
