ABOUT ME

I'm Tim!

I love travelling, snowboarding, biking, driving, learning, working, photography, community and friends.

I used to live in Melbourne, Australia, but now I live in Jersey, Channel Islands, with my partner Natasha and our two young kids.

Natasha and I travel and adventure together pretty much all the time, you can find her profile at couchsurfing.com/people/natasha.bairstow

PHILOSOPHY

Love people, love life, respect others, have fun, and question what you believe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly been a surfer around the world and have hosted a few times in Melbourne and Jersey. See Natasha's profile for more reviews, as most of the time reviews for us are left on her profile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've shared tears with strangers, slept in airports for days, experienced camaraderie with fellow passengers, and been welcomed in by people out of sheer generosity and awesomeness.

Teach, Learn, Share

If it's technology related, I can probably teach you how it works.
I work as a software developer, so I know an extensive amount about programming.
I can also attempt to teach you to snowboard :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I actually really enjoy vacuuming and cleaning vacuums - if you hate vacuuming, then we could make a great team ;)
