I grew up in a country city (just over the Blue Mountains) but have since lived in Canberra, Melbourne, Montreal, Sydney, and "the world". I am a red-head, the eldest of 6 kids (3 adopted siblings), and an identical twin. Growing up, my main interests were music, religions, cultures, and languages.
I currently live in a top-floor apartment in Sydney's Inner East, overlooking an awesome dog park. I live with my Chilean boyfriend, who is now a mechanical engineer, but worked as a professional chef (so he could travel and snowboard) for many years... he is fluent in Spanish, German and English.
While I know I should be studying way more than I do, I'm really keen to keep that important "life balance" by meeting interesting people, experiencing new things, learning random stuff, and appreciating the beautiful!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked in the nepalese himalayas for almost a month in total, reaching 5416m! Everest next..

What I Can Share with Hosts

A sunny spare bedroom with sofa bed (bedding inc.) and own bathroom (with hot shower/bath), free wi-fi, laundry (washing machine+dryer), a big kitchen with a variety of coffee machines, free use of a small gym/pool in the building. We are close to the airport, central station, the city centre/harbour, and the beach (all a short bus ride away). There is a great shopping centre across the road with all you could ever need! Other than that, the usual couch-surfing experience - good company, local knowledge, memories :D
