Hi!
I'm 21, an architecture student and am about to embark on exchange in
Turin, Italy, which is ridiculously exciting. I live in Sydney now, but grew up in both Tasmania and Canberra, both amazing places in Aus that everyone should visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2012 I travelled and stayed in hostels the entire time - which was an experience, but not one that I am looking forward to again. I'd like to truly experience a cities culture and the real vibe of wherever I am - and I feel like couch surfing can help me with that. Some of my greatest friends right now are ones I met while travelling last time, and I'd love to make some more!

Interests

I am obsessed with baking - and am fairly good at it, my speciality being chocolate mud pie and lemon meringue tarts. I bake when I'm really stressed or when I'm super happy - so you can expect lots of baked goods coming your way if you decide to host me. I love to sing and I play a modest amount of guitar - I love a good jam sesh. I also freaking love kareoke - even if I protest, take me to a kareoke bar.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Kimbra is my favourite artist of all time - little new zealand lady who has an amazing voice and a jazzy vibe. Apart from that the only music I can't get into is heavy metal and screamo. At the moment I'm listening to lots of soulful jazzy stuff and old rock - think Aretha, Natalie Cole, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, The Police, Talking Heads etc.

Books - I'm obsessed with anything by Chuck Palaniuk. Fight Club is my top favourite with Invisible Monsters coming second. I'm reading Lullaby right now and loving it. Also anything by Steven King - Doctor Sleep is pure brilliance.

Movies - Where to begin? Top 5 at the moment
1. Fifth Element
2. Closer
3. Breakfast at Tiffany's
4. Chappie
5. Frances Ha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I've stayed at a nudist camp with my friends in Croatia
- Driven through the winding roads of Croatia and it's islands
- Lived in Italy for 6 months while studying

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to bake? I study architecture, and have done graphics so if you're having any issues with an Adobe program or Rhino I could lend a hand. I can share great banter and hilarious anecdotes of my life?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Baking! And good chats over beer! I'm also super cleanly and anxious about being on time to everything.
