Hello!
My name is Amelia and I am from the hipster capital of the world Portland, OR USA! (I promise I don't wear beanies and flannels every day though) I am on a working holiday visa, and have been in beautiful Australia for the past 10 months! During those 10 months I lived and worked in Melbourne. With the last few months I have in Straya I am traveling the rest of this country before I head back to the Rose City/Bridge City/Brew Capital of the US.
I am an outgoing beer lover who loves hiking, meeting new people, water sports, wine, DOGS, and fun. I am very clean and respectful, and I also know how to cook a few authentic Italian dishes (my dad immigrated to the US from Florence, Italy)!
Australia is an amazing country and I am looking forward to exploring everything it has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet some new people in the cities I am traveling! If you can provide me with tips on the best things to see in your cities too, that would be amazing!
