Hi :) My name is Zachary and I'm a young Aussie female planning my first solo trip. I was born in Sydney and have spent the majority of my life living here except for about 5 years when I lived in New Zealand. I only recently heard about Couch Surfers. It was recommended to me from my friend who used it when she was in Europe. The reason I signed up is because 1. it's an opportunity to meet someone from the other side of the world that I may have never gotten to know otherwise and 2. who better to get recommendations off, than a local! And also it is cost effective. I plan on travelling to Hawaii and Mexico and eventually ending up in London where I will work and live for some time. I would also like to fit in New Orleans and Miami while I am in that part of the world.
