About Me

Hi everyone! I am currently quite new to CouchSurfing but I am a friendly Aussie student who is currently on her half year exchange in Denmark. I am stoked about having this experience to travel and to meet new people from various cultures and background!

I love to get out and explore the world and see the different beautiful intricacies that the world can offer. I'm particularly interested in exploring places/landmarks of historical importance since I am a history nerd, but would also just love to experience anything cities have to offer

Also an avid fan of tea, sudoku, and eating/cooking/baking lots of food.

I unfortunately cannot host at the moment as I am on my exchange and living in a shared room with a roommate where there is little to no space. Hopefully I will be able to in the near future back in Australia, but I am open to hang outs whenever here in Copenhagen!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Love local indie Aussie music acts as I believe they are completely underrated. Also a huge fan of rock and early 2000s music for the nostalgia

Movies:
I love love love historical fiction movies and any movie that is based on history. I also love movies with beautiful cinematography and aesthetics. A huge fan of Tarantino, del Toro, and Wes Anderson

Books:
Again, love historical fiction books and also classics. I think my two favourite books of all time are "All the light we cannot see" by Anthony Doerr (a must-read!) and "I know why the cage bird sings" by Maya Angelou (another must-read!!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think going on exchange far far away (approx. more than 20,000kms?) is already a pretty proud achievement of mine. Also, deciding to travel alone has been one of the biggest steps since I never thought I would be capable in doing so.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach terrible Cantonese (I usually speak it with my parents and that's about it!) and also random historical facts!
Would love to learn more about people from different backgrounds and really integrate myself with you guys!
Would love to share my friendship and love with everyone :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can definitely share with you guys some Aussie slang and make a delicious fat-free banana bread :)
