Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To perfect my French and find the best beer in the world.
ABOUT ME
Hey all, I'm a 24 year old Australian currently having a bit of a European adventure. I'm currently living/working in Mulhouse, France and am using the city as a base.
It kinda goes without saying that I am open-minded, friendly and like to meet cool new people.
PHILOSOPHY
I party maybe 0.001% as much as him, but basically everything that Andrew WK says.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
So my current accomodation means I can't host anyone, though I am more than willing to meet people in Mulhouse for a coffee/beer. I will be doing some travel around Europe and hopefully Northern Africa and the Middle East, and would love to be on the "receiving end" there.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I've only Couchsurfed in Basel, Switzerland, but it was a really memorable, enriching experience. Getting to have a non-commercial discussion with a local was an absolute delight haha.
Apart from that, my partner and her housemates host quite regularly and through that connection I've met some really great people, too.

French language, lit, philosophy, film

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The first "amazing thing I've seen" that comes to mind is this time I had the best beer of my life before going on a huge hike on Uetliberg mountain in Switzerland. Not that amazing on paper, but man that was just the crispest darn beer I've ever tasted.
