G’day! My name is Tom, I am 24 and from Australia. I am a primary and high school teacher. I love music and getting active outdoors. I play and coach a lot of sport.

In the last 6 months I have quit my job, backpacked through Europe and moved to Oulu in northern Finland for study. I love adventure and meeting people from different countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined to meet locals and create a network of mates across the world! I love to travel, but have found that by knowing someone who knows the area, the culture, the cool spots and fun things to do makes the experience so much richer.

Interests

I like a wide range of stuff, but I love sport, history, politics, philosophy and music

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I mainly listen to rap/hip-hop, but listen to all sorts depending on the mood! (e.g. Johnny Cash on Sunday’s)
Movies: Anything by Tarantino, Ritchie or Scorsese. I love Star Wars and LOTR.
Books: I read a lot! I love philosophy, (auto)biographies, history, psychology and fiction. My favourite authors are Jung, Watts, Orwell and Dostoevsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking the El Camino Santiago in Birkenstock’s

Teach, Learn, Share

My scrambled eggs are on point and I would be more than happy to dish them up in the morning.
If you have any cool skills then I would love for you to share them with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a massive animal person so it wouldn’t be a hassle to walk/look after any pets! I love talking and getting to know someone, so can share a conversation.
