New to this! I've been in Bali since early July and I'm kicking it in Aus for a couple weeks before heading back to California.

A sarcastic, clean, relatively cool chick. Sunny or not, I love the ocean and beach. Really enjoy trying new foods and of course, drinking coffee (a daily necessity). I like to have a camera at the ready and a book in tow.

I'm independent and good at entertaining myself, but also like meeting new people and gathering advice on things to do and places to see.

Instagram is @annashortley if you need/want to suss me out

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's great to meet people in the area. The hostel scene isn't really for me, and what is more local than sleeping on someone's couch :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feels self-indulgent to use the word "amazing" about myself

Teach, Learn, Share

I can do a lot of little handiwork things; knit, sew, hang things, paint, etc. I know a decent amount about farming and gardening.

Also, small startups, copywriting, marketing. (I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but eh that's where most of my job experience has been)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A sense of humor? Conversation?

I'm a great baker, and an okay cook! If ya need help in the kitchen, I've got you.
