Hi, my name is Tim from Perth, Australia, and it is time for my life to have a change.

I've been working for 3 and a half years in a small IT company, you can check them out here http://onetechnology.com.au/.

This year presents the opportunity for me to expand my horizons and become a traveller. The plan; to spend the next 5 months backpacking around Europe making as many friends along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about getting involved with the culture and finding those places that escape the typical tourist. I hope that spending time with people who know their area best will give me the best opportunities to do so.

Interests

The best nights out involve live music. I am a supporter of local bands, artists and DJs, which have been making huge waves within the Australian music scene. I enjoy going to any event from festivals to pub gigs to nightclub scenes. I play guitar and love having a jam with friends.

I am interested in all forms of outdoor recreational sports, and have experience in hiking, rock climbing, abseiling, mountain bike riding, kayaking, snorkelling, skateboarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding.

- 12 Countries around Europe on a Bus Contiki tour in only 2 weeks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer you an insight into Australian lifestyle. As an Australian music enthusiast, I would hope to introduce you to some of my music, lifestyle and culture, and would love for a host to do the same in return.
