Hello! I am 23 years old and currently studying my final year of a Masters in Primary School teaching in Melbourne, Australia. I love music; photography; road trips; road trips and also road trips. I grew up in Perth, Western Australia and I miss the beautiful beaches every single day. I'm a huge beach-lover and wish I had the opportunity to work on my horrible surfing skills, but Melbourne is a big concrete jungle. Although we do have great coffee. I'm also learning to snowboard but, once again, not much opportunity to do that here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled throughout Europe, Mexico and California in 2015/2016 and met some amazing people through Couchsurfing. Now that I am back at my home I am always happy to host people for a few days and get to know some new international friends.

Interests

Photography, live music, lame TV shows that are so bad but so good (Vampire Diaries, anyone?), eating ice cream, road trips! Big chocolate fan. Huge.

I also love to read I am currently in the midst of an Anne Rice box set. I have a journal filled (mainly with drawings and musings) but also quotes from books... I enjoy plastering my walls/school books/bathroom with quotes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sold on this category - however I love to share: stories; drawings; thoughts; very big on poems, preferably bad poems written by pals. I feel like a bit of a youngster on CS and I have a lot to learn but also a lot to give :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My passable cooking skills; love of music; Australian culture (do we even have a culture? Seems to be a blend of every other Western culture); I'm not sure what else I have to offer... Good vibes ~*~** :)
