CURRENT MISSION

University and some travel in between.

ABOUT ME

My name is Mitch Lorkin, 23 years old.
Currently studying BA Arts/Philosophy major. The nature of my studies allow me lots of free time to surf and float around between Melbourne and the coast. I grew up, and still live between the coastal area of Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne City. I spend the majority of my time down at the beach, surfing, hanging out, camping. If I'm not coastal, Melbourne is a reasonably close and full of fun times, including a thriving live music scene.

I like people. So, hopefully I have the pleasure of meeting you all someday.

PHILOSOPHY

To dissolve like a grain of salt in the ocean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Helping other people experience the beauty of travelling freely through the world by sleeping on thy neighbours couch. The trust aspect of this community is such a well needed breath of fresh air.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only hosted so far, and every experience has been great!

Interests

Living on coast my whole life has spurred a deep love for the ocean and its many limbs. surfing, music and traveling to find different seas. Apart from the somewhat hedonistic lifestyle that surfing brings, I like reading, that could be anything from surrealism, poetry, east and west philosophic work and even a simple classic.
