ABOUT ME

Grew up on a farm with an art gallery near Ballarat. After school moved to Canberra to study, ended up working for the Government on international economic policy and trade negotiations. Saw the headlights of a career public servant with 1.5 kids, a mortgage and a fat dog roaring towards me. Decided to sell up and go travelling. Spent a year travelling, trekking and trying everything through Asia and South America. Got a job for while in London to replenish the bank, then heading to Germany for my free [yes that’s right folks, Masters is free for everyone here :)]. Now I have finished my courses and spend my days doing monkey part time work and pretending to write my thesis. Next, well open to suggestions....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hmm, well I tend to crash at my freinds house a lot, and vise-versa, but I don't think that counts here. No seriously, live in a house where 'surfers' sometimes come and we like to keep them amused.
