Hi future mates!

My name is Stefan. Taught to value travel at a young age, i met my travel soul mate in Japan and are now driving, hiking, riding and flying our way around the world. Despite many efforts to settle and lead a normal life, the people and places of the world keep calling.

For our travels thus far we have been using my partner, Amandas, profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/amandademarchi. Follow the link to read our references!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To participate in the generosity and hospitality of the cs community.
To learn about the culture of the place I am situated in, the areas to chill and people to meet from locals with inside knowledge, not a guide book.
To share my own experiences and knowledge of my own home, culture and perspectives.

Film, books & music that gets me thinking. Rocky to Scorsese, Orwell to Kerouac, Zeppelin to CCR.
Participating and following sports such as australian football (aussie rules), cycling, basketball, & football. Riding my motorbike.
