Hello I'm Dave. I am in my early 30's and live in Perth, Western Australia. I like watching and playing sport especially Australian Rules Football (a sport unique to Australia).

I have lived, worked and travelled through West Africa and Europe and love meeting new people and learning about other cultures. Always good to hear stories of fellow travellers and try to accomodate and help people travelling through Australia as can be difficult with English as a second language. I want to travel/backpack through Europe next year so trying to pay it forward and host people here in Australia before I head off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled and met amazing people. Here to return the favour and utilise my spare room in exchange for crazy stories, unique experiences and new friends. (also to practice and improve my basic French if you speak it :)

Interests

Lots of interests and a lot are sport related to be honest but I do like any sort of stimulating conversation could be politics or science for example.

• traveling
• eating out
• sports
• rowing
• different cultures
• museums
• afl

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very varied and eclectic taste in music depending on my mood and what I am doing.

I do enjoy fantasy books such as game of thrones series and Tolkien stuff. Some of the earlier books by Raymond E Feist and David Gemmell were also good.

Non fiction I read more science articles and small interesting pieces such as travel blogs etc
