Hi! My name is Cosette and I am from Vancouver BC. I left home to work in Fiji when I was 18 years old and have been traveling and living abroad for the last 5 years. I am currently living in Sydney Australia, I am super passionate about traveling (obviously) film (I’ve worked at an art house cinema for the last few months in Sydney and have gotten more into film than ever before!!) yoga, art, music, theatre and learning. I love hearing people’s stories and sharing experiences and knowledge. I have a huge respect and love of nature and life and am plant based :)

Interests

I love the arts! I have dedicated a lot of the last year of my life to learning more about film as well as (film)photography. Music is a huge part of my life as well as my parents are both musicians and I play violin. I love leaning and making friends and being in new places and seeing/being surrounded by beautiful things. Yayoi Kusama, Basquiat, Hayao Miyazaki, David Lynch and Hokusai are some of the artists I love the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don’t know what the most amazing thing I’ve experienced is.. but my friends and I climbed onto a dilapidated part of the Great Wall of China last year and hiked around for hours completely alone which was so incredibly beautiful, i felt very lucky

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the best part about Couch Surfing is being able to meet beautiful like minded people from all over the world and learning from their experiences and sharing your own :)
