Hello! Nice to (virtually) meet you!

I'm looking for friendly folks in Florence to hang out with - feel free to send me a message :)

I'm a law student from Australia currently studying abroad in Florence. I'm from a small town in Tasmania but now I live in Melbourne (when I'm not travelling). I'm studying law and politics because I'm curious about how we can solve big problems like poverty, inequality and injustice.

My studies have allowed me to study abroad in Turkey, Malaysia and now Italy. I am enjoying eating lots of pasta and wandering around Italy's beautiful old towns. I'm a little bit shy at first and I'm not much of a party girl. But I love to chat and get to know new people over a cup of tea or glass of wine!

I am planning to graduate by the end of the year, and in 2019 I'd like to move abroad and find a job as an English teacher.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I would really love to meet more local people while I am travelling! My favourite travel memories are the times when local people have shared their culture and their homes with me. I feel like I learn so much when a local person takes me to their favourite restaurant or shows me their favourite places. I want to have more immersive and meaningful travel experiences, instead of only seeing the touristic places. I prefer to stay longer, soak up the local atmosphere and culture and make real friends.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Usually indie music is my thing, but lately, I've been listening to a lot of Latin pop so I can subconsciously learn Spanish ;) Does anyone have recommendations for Spanish Indie music?

I love to read and I wish I had more time for it! I like historical fiction and also nonfiction books about philosophy and humanity. Loved 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' by Yuval Noah Harari and anything by Alain de Botton.

I watch more TV series than movies, favourites include Outlander and Game of Thrones.
