Hey, I'm Louis, an avid traveller and train driver living in Melbourne! I love being part of the couch surfing community as we can exchange our cultures, love for travel and share our cities hidden secrets. I aim to live the local way of life and discover hidden gems that are otherwise left untouched. When I'm home I am passionate to host people and show Melbourne's hidden secrets, great food and coffee spots as well as sharing tips and useful information that will help you have an amazing time in Australia! When Im travelling, I am respectful of others and love to help out where I can and meet people from around the world. I do shift work so sometimes I will go to bed early or or come home late but that also creates flexibility to do stuff during the day! Insta: @louisjosborne

Why I'm on Couchsurfing

Bit of non fiction, and Devo can never go astray
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Why just one? My top 3 have been: - Volunteering at a rural hospital in East Timor. - Hitchhiking through the Pakistani mountains. - Getting stranded on a little atoll in Kiribati and staying with a local family on it.
Teach, Learn, Share
I used to be a chef, so can teach how to cook. I can give insight on how to experience Australia in ways which aren't only more authentic- but also many times more budget friendly (I know Australia can be expensive) I have traveled a lot and love to listen to other travellers travel stories too. I believe traveling is the best form of education!
What I Can Share With Hosts
My beautiful city, an open mindset, good quality banter. I love learning and sharing cooking from different cultures and am happy to help out with the likes and other house duties.
