Overview
About Me
I am a 26yr old American that has traveled to over 60 countries in the last 5 years. I am about to embark on a motorcycle journey down the coast of Vietnam for 6 weeks and am looking for legends to show me their amazing country - the inside scoop, the secret bars, the local street food, best places to grab a Vietnamese coffee, and possibly a couch or a floor to sleep on :)
I am currently living in Melbourne, Australia working in hospitality and making coffee :) In my spare time I play Ultimate Frisbee, Beach Volleyball, read as many books as I can and talk politics/philosophy with my friends....I am also obsessed with electronic music and having a good boogie. Been to festivals all over the world and always on the hunt for some house & techno :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I live for the true local experience. The less foreigners the better. I want to find the true meaning behind the culture, the food, the drinks, the lifestyle. I love trying new foods, listening to stories and experiences, learning new languages, and getting to know strangers. I love meeting new people, and I want to be your friend so that I may too show you around and host you in my city if you come in the future :)
