Overview
About Me
Aussie girl who just came back from an exchange in Montréal, Québec, Canada, i.e. I went from freezing cold back home and have melted in a puddle somewhere between the airport and my house.
I split myself between a bajillion things, including med school (sorry, what do stethoscopes do again?), volunteering NGOs, climate activism, trying to be at least a mediocre daughter. Can be found always running about, thus the incompleteness of my profile- please forgive me.
But in the meantime, here are a few more me-facts:
- I like tea and board games (Jungle Speed or Taboo, anyone?)
- Puns complete me (the lamer the better)
- Socks and tuques (d'accord, ils sont des tuques et pas des 'beanies') are my fave items of clothing
- I can do the worm
- I feel a little naked without my watch and backpack
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Heard about it from a Spanish lady and a Quebecois guy (now friends just FYI) that I met in a hostel in San Fran. It came highly recommended!
Interests
Reading, swimming, walking, hikes, whipping my hair back and forth i.e. dancing like nobody's watching, travelling, advocating, pretending that I'm okay at singing and acting (I'm not)
