Hi I’m Astrid, I’m 18 and from Perth, Western Australia.

I am currently on a gap year, backpacking eastern and Central Europe for 3 months, before starting university next year where I will be studying physio therapy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience a more local side of cities, and to be able to get to know more people on a deeper level.

Interests

I’ve played sport my whole life, my favourite being athletics. I have always been quite active and love moving around.

I also am really into journaling, I find it really relaxing and calming just writing and (attempting) drawing. I think journaling is one of the best ways to look back on your travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m not too much of a reader, but I’m trying to get into it more. If I am reading, I do prefer non fiction, and books about improving ourselves and he world around us.

For movies, I love anything from thriller to rom coms. My favourite movies are probably Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Gone Girl, The Imitation Game and The Blind Side. Some of my favourite TV shoes are How I Met Your Mother, The Sinner, Atypical, Breaking Bad and The IT Crowd.

My favourite artists include Florence and the Machine, Gang is Youths, Middle Kids, Glass Animals
