Hi there :)

I am a 23 year old Aussie girl from Newcastle, and have just moved to Europe for seven months! I will be moving to Stockholm, Sweden to complete a university exchange program and (FINALLY) finish my degree (Laws/Politics & International Relations)

I believe myself to be an easy going, friendly person and open-minded person. I am always open to meeting new people, making new friends and having new experiences! My motto is always say yes :)

Back home I work full time as a paralegal in a law firm and I absolutely LOVE it. In my spare time I like to cook (although I am pretty bad at it) and going on camping trips to the NSW south. I really love modern history and staying up to date with current politics (living in Canberra does have it's pros).

I love travelling and have had the chance to do quite a few trips to Asia and Europe. India would have to be my favourite country by far - such a crazy place!

Please note I am new to Couchsurfing, and as such, do not have any references/many friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have a more unique experience when travelling and to meet new and interesting people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I finished high school I spent a year in Pornic (Pays de la Loire, France) where I lived with three different French families and went to high school. It was definitely the most rewarding (and challenging) experience I have ever had.
