I am a professional linguist, well-travelled, cultured with a great sense of humour. I live in Victoria, Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wife and I are planning some trips around Australia and Europe, and would rather meet interesting people en route than hang out in hotel rooms. We are happy to contribute for our stay, financially or otherwise. We hope to meet some amazing like-minded people as part of this experience.

Teach, Learn, Share
