Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My house in Melbourne, Australia has always been open to friends and friends of friends. It always has been and always will be.

I am a massive supporter of people leaving their homes to experience new things and love hanging out with people from different places.

I've met some truly great people through couchsurfing. Many I now consider true friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Random first time friends, beach huts, expensive appartments, paddocks, fields, one-seater, floor, garage, water bed.

It's the people, not the couch!

Interests

Music - my passion. Performing, watching, dancing, listening, reflecting, creating. All types of alternative styles. My most enjoyed moments are playing live on stage to an engaged audience or being a member of an engaged audience watching someone/something amazing on stage.
