I'm a friendly Australian new to the couch surfing world and have been travelling through Europe for the past three months. I'm interested in people and history, ideas and passions.

I care a lot about the arts, particularly theatre and performance arts, and I grew up with a musician as a father so I have deep love for all things music.
I'm curious about the world I live in so I love history, interested in world politics and passionate about social justice. As well as that I have an amateur (but enthusiastic) interest in science, particularly anything space related.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my trip I've just been staying in hostels and meeting people there, but I'm eager to change that and stay with people who live in the places I'm visiting. I think it's such a great opportunity to make new friendships and learn about the world through someone whose path I wouldn't normally cross

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a little afraid of heights, so I think hiking up a mountain in Kosovo has to be up there as one of the more amazing things I've done. And if that doesn't sound amazing then when I was 8 years old I learnt the theme for Star Wars on piano and performed it at my school's talent quest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with your English, teach you how to open a beer bottle with a lighter. I know a couple of nice pasta dishes I can cook too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a Slavic folklore story that's fun to tell. Does that count?
