Londoner living Down Under!

Currently a student at UQ in Brissy.

I am lively, open-minded and reliable. I like to socialise, go out for the occasional drink and generally, have good fun.

I've lived in 5 countries so I've developed a fascination for travelling. I am very interested in learning about new cultures and meeting new people. I am half Brazilian and half Australian but I was mainly brought up in London, England.. bit of a mixture!

I'd like to say I have a good sense of humour and I'm pretty easy to get along with so yeah!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done quite a few things with couchsurfing like:

Couchsurfed a couple of times in Brazil and Argentina.
Attended CS meetings in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Nice (France), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Brisbane (Australia)
Met a few CSers who were willing to show me around across Europe and South America which was great!
So my overall experience has been pretty positive!

Interests

Love music - many genres from Brazilian country to Rock, from R'n'B to Jazz. Anything that has a decent beat and that I can dance to; I enjoy.
I am very open-minded and I love travelling; I make sure that I explore foreign countries as much as possible.
Swimming is one of the sports I enjoy the most - I used to be on many swimming teams in school, out of school.. anywhere and everywhere. But now it is just a hobby, whether it be in the sea or in a swimming pool.
Going out to clubs, bars, getting to know people is what I like to do. I can sometimes be slightly shy but after maybe a few drinks... I become more open, I guess.
