About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore "life, the universe, and everything"

ABOUT ME

Eliza and I call Melbourne, Australia our home. It's a wonderful city that has a lot to offer.

We are both passionate vegans. A good time for us involves a gastronomical journey of local vegan cuisine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2018: It has been a long time since I've been on couchsurfing and a lot has changed on this page. You can now pay $84 to get verified? What happened to the cashless community this page promoted? Gosh. I have been gone some time. Anyway, l encourage people to read my references and not think I'm "couch worthy" because I paid some bizarre once-off fee.

I have been on couch surfing back when it looked like it was designed in the late 1990s, but it was actually 2008 when I travelled to South America and stayed with some lovely people in Argentina and Venezuela. I still maintain some contact with them.

In 2013, I travelled around Western Europe. For the most part I stayed with friends or couch surfers. It was the best.

Interests

Aside from all the above, I am an avid reader, movie-watcher, music-listener, and coffee-drinker. I have a passion for photography. I am also a (closet?) nerd, and enjoy playing computer games.
