Back in Australia from mid-November :)

I'd describe myself as someone who generally says yes to new experiences, and is pretty friendly, open-minded and curious about basically everything.

I'm predominantly a city girl who doesn't mind the occasional hike or afternoon at the beach. I live for stand-up comedy nights, live music, and art exhibitions - and while I prefer having company, I'm getting more comfortable going on my own if I can't find a companion.

Couchsurfing has revolutionised my understanding of what it means to travel, and changed the focus of trips I've taken from "attractions" to people, which is fantastic because people are my favourite.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people :)
Especially as a solo traveller who doesn't really like being alone, couchsurfing is fantastic for making friends.

Interests

I don't travel with a guitar as they are heavy and cumbersome, but my hands get itchy after a few days without practice so if you have one to share I promise I won't play too loudly :P

• veganism
• indoor plants
• learning how play a heckin' bar chord
• crafts (embroidery, painting, etc.)
