About Me

I'm 26 years old, living in Melbourne and Sydney at the moment.

I have started up a small business called Over The Moo. It specialises in dairy-free ice cream. I started up this business because I love food and I like the flexibility of being my own boss.

I'm a laid back guy and I really like to explore new places and try new foods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm keen to meet people and learn about other cultures.

Interests

I have been working in food since my first job as a kitchen hand 10 years ago. I love food (both eating and cooking).
I also enjoy exercise- running, swimming and boxing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job 5 months ago to start my business. It's was tough to leave the security of the regular job and risk my savings. At the moment, whatever happens with the business, I'm really happy I made the jump.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn how to cook a local authentic dish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share souvenirs from Australia (with enough advance notice!)
Also, for anyone with an interest in starting a small business, I am really interested to help where I can, even if it means just discussing problems or providing a contact.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Africa, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, China, United Kingdom
