My name is Patrick, Pat for short, and I am a 20 year old university student from Melbourne, Australia, who is ready to go out and explore the world and connect with amazing people, and make some everlasting friendships and memories. I am taking a gap year over 2023, to escape the mundane repetitive life of work and studies, and explore Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. I am excited to see new places and explore new cultures, to widen my perception on the world, and see what is really outside the small Melbourne bubble that I currently live in. I am an energetic, kind-hearted man who loves sports and the outdoors, and will never say no to experiencing something new.

I have just started using the application as of October, 2023, and am excited to see how it goes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I think it is an amazing platform to meet and connect with people from other cultures and parts of the world. I believe the best way to see a place, is too see it through the eyes of a local, and I believe couchsurfing provides this opportunity. I'm hoping to have interesting, deep and knowledgeable conversations with others that allow each of us to learn about eachother and our own cultures.

Interests

I would like to say I have a wide range interests, and love to learn about new topics and knowledge, so I am always to happy to learn about someone else's interests and learn from them.

• traveling
• music
• food
• nature
• sport
• history and culture

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to mainly 90's hip hop, as well as a mix of different electronic music.

Teach, Learn, Share

You will be able to learn about daily life in Australia, our culture, and most importantly my favourite sport Australian Rules Football. Also I just love to talk about life, and different mindsets towards life. I can share with you how I aim to go about my life, and would love to hear your own beliefs as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good chat and hopefully a few laughs. I can also help the host with their English, as it is my mother tongue.
