Hey there!

I am Patrick from Melbourne, Australia. On my way to Timor-Leste for a couple weeks, just stopping off in East Java to explore a little. I am a very socio-environmentally conscious person, who is open-minded, motivated, and positive! A large proportion of my life revolves around interactions with food, the natural world and farming, I ferment a lot too :) I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and thoroughly enjoy sharing a meal, and/or cooking with friends. Really enjoy connecting with people, and exploring different ways of being and doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanting to share in beautiful experiences with beautiful people. Experiences like those in which you have sharing in someone's home, and getting a different lens within a city are difficult to recreate, and find elsewhere. Couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to experience places, and create wonderful memories and connections along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jokulsarlon glacier in Iceland, one of the most incredible landscapes we've ever encountered.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Very respectful, orderly, and enjoyable guest, who is happy to help cook, clean, and engage in the household environment. Love to have a chat about anything and everything, and value the emergent knowledge that comes from interacting with all sorts of people. Respect people's desire for space, and personal time. Ultimately, a pleasant, enjoyable vibe, and hopefully a lasting friendship.
