ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town, went to school there. As soon as I could, I escaped to Sydney for uni, and learned how to drink, smoke, and even how to do research. After 5 years I grew tired of the big smoke, and went to Townsville to become a famous marine biologist. It didn't work out that well, and I ended up becoming a social insect researcher. Bees, wasps, ants, you name it: they've all stung me. The pain got to me after a couple years, and I turned to studying reptiles. They bite less often, though some of them much more painfully. I decided I could never live in the real world, so I have managed to be (working or studying) at uni ever since I left high school, which was in the era of grunge. rock and roll.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet people. People traveling in Australia are likely to find it expensive, so if I can help there: good. People traveling to Australia are unlikely to come to Townsville, which is reasonable - it's not a backpacking town. But the lifestlye is what its about here instead. If you have to ask, you'll never know.
