Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've done the whole hostel experience quite a bit and would like to start experiencing places, particularly cities, in a different light.
Hopefully, I'll be able to build some life long friendships through this interesting and dynamic platform!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love my heavy metal but also thoroughly enjoy more relaxing genres such as reggae and indie rock!
My favourite author of all time is George Orwell. I literally cried reading Homage to Catalonia!
Though my favourite book of all time is Shantaram by Gregory David Robert. Now that is a novel that every traveller, particularly any that have been to India must read.
Favourite tv series at the moment is probably The Loudest Voice.
I do love my Australian television and film and would love to share some recommendations
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I would say the best thing I have ever done is spend several weeks trekking in the Himalayas!
Just travelling a lot in the past four years is something that I am really proud of. I'm the type of guy that wants to be able to look back at the end of each decade and feel content with how I spent each respective one.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have a very rich understanding of modern history and politics, while also being able to name every country and flag. Please do not hesitate to challenge me on that ;)
What I Can Share with Hosts
You'll host a very respectful guy that will be fascinated in both your culture and you as an individual :)
