About Me

Hello!
I live in Geelong. Been here since 2014 and love it. I was born in Melbourne, lived in South India from ages 3-12. Moved back to Australia in 2000 to study at secondary school. Graduated in 2005. Finished my teaching degree at Monash University in 2014. I currently work as a high school teacher in Geelong. Married to one wife and have a dog. If you're in the area and need somewhere to crash and have a beer, feel free to shoot us a message and will see if we can accommodate.

I've traveled to the Middle East and all through South East Asia, with some travel in Europe and some Pacific Islands too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having travelled half way around the world (couchsurfed for some of it) and in meeting many different people from different walks of life, I've realised that it's more fun to stay with people and get to know them than shack up in a hotel. (and much cheaper)

I have just moved to a great house with my wife in Geelong. Happy to have up to 6 surfers who are positive and needing somewhere to crash for a night or few.
