Personal Description

Nothing much to mention really; I packed up and moved to Bangkok after doing much of the same thing in Brisbane for too long. This was the start of my journey, now I'm in Montreal.

How I Participate in CS

I no longer contribute to Couchsurfing, because it's not an open organization. I support opencouchsurfing.org.

I'm never going to become a verified member. There's no financial transparency, and I don't think the money always goes to good use.

Interests

Cooking, walking, bike riding.

Types of People I enjoy

Relaxed, easy going people.

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United States
LIVED: Australia, Canada, Thailand
IS GOING TO: Austria, Belgium

Morgan hosted my friend and I for the weekend when we came to Montreal to see Cirque de Soleil. He is a friendly and welcoming host. He was busy working on the weekend but he did have the chance to take us to Le Dieu du Ciel where we tried coffee beer. Truly a bad idea. :) But staying with Morgan certainly wasn't. Thanks again for the good times.

Morgan is a very bright person. He has a calm and curious attitude, and is always in a good mood. His computer skills are quite impressive! I recommend Morgan both as host and guest!

Well isn't it logical to meet lots of Aussis in Montreal!? We met up from time to time on parties and stuff and on the last party at his place,he would even let me surf his couch as I was pretty lazy to get home with the first metro in the morning. Take the chance to have breakfast with him on the otherside of the street in this small little cafe which looks like a living room and where poeple already know him.

Morgan is a great bloke and a true mate.
Regardless if you are considering hosting him or crashing at his place, your experience is no doubt going to be a fun and fulfilling one.

We met through a common CS friend. We had beers and dinner in Antwerp. Morgan is a well-travelled, open-minded and interesting couchsurfer

Morgan was loads of fun to have around. It was great to live through him while he experienced snow for the 2nd time!

Morgan was a great couchsurfer. Always ready to help round the house and very appreciative. He was great fun to go out with (even after too many hours on a plane) and has some great stories to tell and opinions to share. Top bloke and you'd have a great time hosting him or if he ever finds a house for long enough to crash with him.

Good karaoke singer, chef, bar tender, but a better friend. We visit some places near Bangkok with other friends, we went to Pattaya and Hua Hin and some party nights in the city.

Morgan was really open to let me stay with him. He showed me some cool spots and I dragged him through China Town.

We were both regular attendees at Friday Beers, before he left. Now I'm left to do the drinking for both of us. Bloody good cook, too.

Met Morgan for a few beers, had some good geeky chat! Would happily host him if he didn't live here already!
