Hey! I'm Doug: a young traveller from Brisbane, Australia, moving to the Netherlands to finish my degree and see how I cope with establishing a life in a new country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To bridge the gaps between organised accommodation and meet new and interesting people. I don't think you can truly experience a city, town or place without a local's influence.
