Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet interesting people and experience other cultures! Also, to provide hospitality when I can, in hopes it comes full circle (usually it does!)

Interests

I love the outdoors and I usually sleep in my tent while I travel. I also just got my open water and wreck diving licenses and I'm really excited to explore dive sites around Aussie and SE Asia (the state of my bank account permitting).

• hiking
• scuba diving

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning any language (I can teach you all about biochemistry or how to play the violin in return!)

Food! and conversation. I know how to cook, clean up, and be a good guest.
