Hey ! My name is Tom, I'm 21 and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I'm a university student studying english literature, history and French .

Usually I work as a sports coach for kids aged 2-5, which I love to do. But I've just finished up because I am traveling to France to study at a university and then travel around!

I love meeting new people, exchanging stories, and exploring new places. I'm laid back and sometimes quiet. I really enjoy seeing cities but also love wilderness - hiking, cycling, walking and kayaking.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to make new friends; to meet locals and other travelers; and to experience a place from a local perspective!

I travel alone so it's great to meet people, to have conversations and learn about where I am.

It's not just about finding a place to stay, it's about exchanging experiences and stories and learning about a place from the local people. I want to really immerse myself in a place, rather than just pass through and see the touristy sites.

Música, películas y libros

Books: I always have at least 4 books on me when I am traveling! I read a bit of everything - fiction, non-fiction, philosophy. I like too many books to have a favourite

Music: my favourite kind of music is usually mellow folk music - Ben Howard: https://youtu.be/ElCDYqcs0gk ; Matt Corby https://youtu.be/pPnA-Vs5ATU . But I enjoy anything really! Kendrick Lamar, Red Hot Chili Peppers....

Movies: Midnight in Paris by Woody Allen; Pirates of the Caribbean (classic).

Television: I love documentaries - Planet Earth 1 & 2 are favourites, so relaxed and interesting! I like detective shows like Midsomer Murders & Lewis; and my favourite comedy is Black Books

Algo increíble que he hecho

Early this year, I did a 5 day hike in New Zealand with two of my best friends. It was an unreal experience: the walking was hard but so rewarding; the landscapes and views were unbelievably beautiful; and all of the people we met in the cabins and huts were so friendly and warm!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Books - always happy to lend my books & talk about books - as I said, I always have about 4 on me!

Photography. I only have a small camera but I love taking photos and love to share them and take photos for people.

Cooking. In France I'm going to be staying in a bakery and learning to make bread!

Languages: I love learning new languages and I am happy to practise English & French with you.

Meditation.

I would love to learn to play music. I love music but I'm hopeless

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'm laid back and friendly, and I'm keen to share my stories and experiences with you and to hear about your city/town!

As I guest, I am a very tidy & clean person. I'm also quiet and I respect peoples' personal space.

I'm really passionate about language learning. Very happy to teach/ practise speaking English, French & others.

I also enjoy cooking, making laid back meals or taking some time to make something more complicated; making bread is a favourite. My home city Melbourne is famous for its food, especially breakfasts and health foods!

I'm a tidy person and I want to help keep your home tidy.
