Howzit I'm Gabriel. Born and raised in South East Queensland but have lived the past few years in Switzerland. Spent the last two years teaching English at a high school in Zurich and now doing my masters in development economics in Göttingen/Stellenbosch. Spend loads of time outdoors, whether that be hiking, swimming, running, freediving or playing cricket. Big into cooking, love Jamaican, Lebanese and Sri Lankan cuisine to name a few, and even worked six months as a chef during my bachelors. Try to travel as much as a I can and love learning about new cultures and their histories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually travel solo and I like to meet new people on my trips and learn about their culture. Have had couchsurfing since 2015 but kinda forgot about it, so want to give it a go now.
