Hey! I'm Ash, a twenty year old Australian born and raised in beautiful Sydney. I've travelled my entire life, visited over 20 countries, lived in Ireland for 2 years, and have just finished 4 months studying at Michigan State university on exchange. I love to meet new people, hear wild and wacky stories and will do anything for a laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from all over the world and hear some crazy stories. Having a local perspective on places is also immeasurably valuable! I hope I could do the same for anyone coming to Sydney :)

Interests

Movies, music festivals, reading, hiking, swimming

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: so so many but a couple of my favourites are - True romance and Oldboy. My guilty pleasure is Dumb and Dumber

TV: Game of Thrones (fun fact: my uncle is an extra on it, He's a wildling! He can't tell me anything about season 7 though, but I'm working on it), Stranger Things, Narcos, Seinfeld

Books: We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Book Thief, Born standing up

Music: pretty much anything, although I have a soft spot for anything you can dance to. Some of my favourites are Arctic Monkeys, Sticky Fingers, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Blossoms, Lana Del Rey

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked through the Indonesian jungle and saw orangoutangs in the wild!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few completely useless Irish Gaelic phrases and have an equally useless encyclopaedic knowledge of Seinfeld quotes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A carefree attitude, open mind, funny stories, and a willingness to try any food as long as it's vegetarian! Half heartedly working on the vegan thing. I just love cheese.
