I am an outgoing, energetic, extroverted and fun individual that loves travelling, new experiences and meeting new people. My favourite way to experience any new city is with locals; I love diving into new cultures!
I am spending 2012 and early 2013 travelling and studying as an exchange student in Canada. I was born in England, where I spent my early childhood, but my permanent home is now in Perth, Western Australia.
I am also in the final semester of a combined Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics double degree from the University of Western Australia; starting work in the field of Management Consulting in March 2013.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to live every day to the fullest and can run on six hours sleep per night. I want to die without regretting a minute of my life, with hundreds of thousands of fantastic memories and friends from all over the world.
I'm a highly logical person but I also believe in fate and karma. With regards to politics and economics; I'm pretty conservative (capitalism works) but I do have some left-wing attitudes (I support gay marriage, abortion etc.)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I have a wide taste in movies; a few of my favourites are Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption and Fight Club. Similarly, I can appreciate all music genres (except country and rap!) Some favourites: Friendly Fires, Coldplay, Tycho, Crystal Castles, Bloc Party, The Chemical Brothers. I love the indie radio station 'Triple J' in Australia. I hate most pop music.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

To name a few: Snorkelling at Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Bungy-jumping in Bali, Indonesia. Surfing at Uluwatu Cliffs in Bali, Indonesia. Partying until the early hours of the morning on the beaches of Barcelona, Spain. Skiing the mountains of Cardrona, New Zealand.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I've studied finance, accounting and economics extensively; so I suppose I can offer a lot of knowledge there.
I've travelled to most continents and seen how different cultures work, so there might be something to offer there!
