Description

Hi all,
My Name is Mason, I'm from Victoria Australia. I love everything to do with nature and the great outdoors. I'm passionate about cooking, camping, hiking, fishing.

I also love doing weird and wonderful things that make for an awesome story. For example last Christmas I was in the Austrian alps on a chariot drinking schnapps with my family.

I am a very calm and outgoing person with a hard work ethic which can be attributed to many years working on a farm and in the trade business.
I have a great sense of humour and a great storyteller due to so many events in my life being straight out of a movie.

I am currently on my first solo journey around Europe and I hope to learn more about myself and the world around me, during my travels I hope to gain a better understanding of the country and culture in which my family originated (Germany) while also developing my German language skills.
