Overview
About Me
Not hosting at the moment because I am travelling around North America.
I finished my biology degree in 2017 and decided I'd like to spend some time abroad. I love the outdoors - hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, swimming... everything, especially with company!
I've only started using couchsurfing recently as I'm on my first solo travel adventure through Canda and the States so I don't have many references yet. As soon as I'm back in Australia my home will be open to all travellers!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I began backpacking in June 2018 with one main goal, to meet people who have led different lives to me and to find out what what motivates them to do what they do! Couchsurfing has the most wonderful community of open minded people and I'm excited to meet as many of you as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all genres, especially pop, rock, jazz and folk. Ten Strings and a Goatskin, The Wailin' Jennies, The Temper Trap, The Cat Empire, Missy Higgins, Kate Miller-Heidke, Kimbra, Elephant Sessions just to name a few of my favourite bands. I always love discovering new bands though so please introduce me to more!
I also love to read! Some of my favourite authors are John Williams, Donna Tarrt and Jon Krakauer.
I'm currently reading Guns, Germs and Steel.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent two weeks in the Australian Alps researching how buttercups respond to changes in CO2 and air temperature as a part of my undergraduate studies and my research got published in a scientific journal!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love talking about science and ideas. I also love music, whether playing it, singing, or dancing to it. I am good pianist and would love to share it with people, either playing or teaching.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Travel stories and good conversation, if you're into that.
I'm not a masterchef by any stretch of the imagination but I am more than happy to cook for you or help you cook if you would like :)
