Hey couchsurfers, I’m Sam. 37 year old, young at heart Australian guy travelling with my dad on a tour of Central Asia. I’ve spent a few months in the region before and would like to get out and be with some young people in between spending time with my dad and the oldies!

I'll give most things a go. If you've got an adventure in mind I could be keen :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on a tour and looking for local people to hang out with. I love travel and meeting interesting people. No better way to gain new perspectives and have fun. I find you learn more about yourself the more you learn about the world as well.

Interests

My interests are quite diverse (a few listed below). I love jamming music with people and have played in bands on guitar and as a drummer. I like being arty and most things outdoors get me excited.

• photography
• team sports
• music
• outdoor activities
• hiking
• skiing
• psychology
• volunteering
• travel
• heavy metal
• improv
• guitar playing
• drumming

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty diverse with the music (from folk to drum and bass and everything in between) but roots in heavy metal and 90’s grunge. Movies… The last great film I saw was “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once”. Books: The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, The Outsider, All Quiet on the Western Front.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Acted in an Australian TV show with one of the Hemsworths 🤙🏽

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach beginner/intermediate guitar or drum set. I can teach English and am currently studying a TEFL course. I can share my experience of Australian culture (whatever that means)! Mostly I hope to have fun, learn and grow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some of my friends think that I spend too much time dwelling on the ‘deep’ things, but this makes me a good listener. I’m fun but can also be a little shy at first 🌝
