Originally from the UK, but have lived in Melbourne for the past 19 years. It's my first time using this site, although I have surfed many a couch on my travels. I've recently quit my job, booked a one way ticket, and I'm planning to travel for 5-6 months this year before moving to the UK. I'm leaving in April for the States (LA, Austin and New Orleans at this stage), Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba and then over to Europe. Hope to meet a few of you along the way. As a couch surfer- I'm pretty easy going and respectful, and my cooking skills are constantly improving (especially veggie curries). I'm up for hanging out, but happy to do my own thing too. I'm in Melbourne until April 13th, so if anyone is in Melbourne, and needs a tour guide/wants to meet for a drink, I'd be happy to oblige. I can't currently host, but hope to in the future!
