About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the poles and Greenland

ABOUT ME

I grew up moving around a lot in Australia and met very diverse community groups in the outback as well as in the cities. Moved to Sydney at 18 to embark on perpetuity of studies. I have travelled a lot and now work in the arts and at universities (obviously focused on money making fields, haha :)

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm, never tell the internet my thoughts and dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am fresh as a wall flower when it comes to CouchSurfing, so i am not sure yet. Would like to meet fabulous people and have some unexpected adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All positive so far...

Interests

Actually, at the moment, i am really interested in biotechnology and art. Also, I love food, wine, having elaborately themed dinner parties, reading, art, photography, travel, chatting until the wee hours, friends, swimming at Jervis Bay, i love to go on road trips and doing things I would never have imagined.

Music, Movies, and Books

I worked in an arthouse cinema for most of the time i was at uni, so saw a lot of films. It is hard to pick out some of my favorites: Delicatessen, Eternal Sunshine, Withnail and I, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the Graduate, ...ah, so many i could write. TV might be easier, twin peaks, life on mars (BBC), Big Love (so trashy), Mad Men, Black Books, Supersizers Go, Heston, ...
I read quite a lot. I love Jeanette Winterson books. A classic favorite is "to kill a mockingbird". I also really love to read essays like "on photography" by Susan Sontag. Anything i guess that changes/expands the way you see the world.
