CURRENT MISSION

Live free and do good or die trying!

ABOUT ME

I am finally coming to the end of my tertiary studies and am currently on my biggest adventure yet. I've just moved to the US for the next year or two to see what all the fuss is about. Once I graduate at the end of 2016, my intention is to hit the road in search of adventure and experience.

I am the kind of person that loves to have a project on the go. In the last year that's involved starting a debating club at uni where we debate urban issues (and make friends, drink & hang out), throwing parties and researching and testing some ideas for a potential startup in public health.

I am open-minded (just like every other person on this website), honest, friendly and independent. I can also cook, clean and pretend to do an Australian accent!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an experiment - try and make of it what you can (whilst also accepting a huge degree of error and uncertainty).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´m new to this! So if there´s anything you want to know, just ask!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve never couch-surfed before! But I am an experienced couch-lender, though not yet to CS folk. My couch-related experience has found that if you want people to help you clean, you give them an apron and put on 80s pop.

Interests

In my spare time I am always listening to music, whilst also cooking, gardening, drawing, reading, watching a film or tv show on my computer. The rest of my time outside of uni and work is spent with friends, which involves a lot of talking about big issues and complete nonsense, bushwalking and hanging out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last weekend I saw Slowdive (a band I´ve wanted to see for years now) at their first show in 20+ years, and during their final song their female singer and I stared at one another and sung/smiled the whole last two verses. Good thing it was raining a little at the time too, because IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I CRIED A LITTLE.

What else...

Hmm, I´ve met a lot of homeless people lately too as they are often the most talkative and they all have wonderful stories. I think everyone I have met on my travels has been incredibly interesting in their own way though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm just about to finish my Masters of Urban Planning, specializing in emerging transport systems, so that is one area that I am always interested in talking about.

I'm also a pretty good cook and love to share recipes.

I have many stories to share and I'm sure you do too!
