Hey, I’m Alinta! I’ve been backpacking around Europe for the past 8 months and it was the best choice I’ve ever made. I like to think of myself as creative, compassionate, open minded, a little loopy, spiritual and thoughtful. This journey has taught me a lot so far and I’ve realised the more I see the less I know. The future doesn’t exist yet- we’re all just here along for the ride.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and explore this big, wild, whacky, beautiful earth and meet people everywhere I go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cappadocia, Turkey: In one day I experienced the surreal beauty of this landscape in a hot air balloon as the sun rose, and on horseback as the sun set.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As an artist I have a whole lotta creative stuff to share with the world. I also cook, clean, am tidy and quiet. If you’re interested in learning about Australia, I’d love to share my knowledge of its history, traditional custodians and culture- drawing from my own Aboriginal heritage.
