Hi, I'm Tim.
I grew up in a very rural part of southern NSW in Australia near the beach, on a small farm with lots of animals. Since leaving home I've studied various disciplines of science and language. I've lived in Hobart, Tasmania and Nagoya, Japan and I've travelled around New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan and a lot of central and west Japan. For the last three years I've been teaching English, training teachers and caring for children in Japan. I'm currently on an adventure traveling around Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As well as seeing amazing things, my favourite thing about travelling is meeting new people and having great conversations. I'm really keen to get to know lots of people in Europe while I'm here and I can talk forever about science, Japan, geography, sport and language or even better I love listening to people with passionate interests in areas I'm yet to discover.
Would love to meet you (and stay on your couch lol) ;)
