Overview
About Me
25 year old law graduate, research assistant, squash player, spontaneous dancer, and red wine drinker. At the moment, I’m back in Sydney (my home city). My most recent travel adventure was train-hopping around Europe for a couple of months afterI finished a semester of study in Rotterdam in December 2017. I’ve always believed getting to know locals is the best and quickest way to get to know a new place. I’ve had the privilege of staying with a few locals on my travels and would love to return the favour where and when I can. But happy to hang out too - feel free to shoot me a message. I'm a reasonably easy going gal who loves meeting new people. I'm not always a huge chatter, but I open up once you get to know me. I listen more to start. I have a big heart for justice - injustice breaks my heart. I love thinking hard about creative ways to make the world better - strange for a law student, I know. I am also really comfortable in awkward silences. (You've now been given fair warning.)

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm a massive sci-fi geek - read it, write it, watch it.
Also a fan of vmars - what can I say? I'm a marshmallow.
Music: eclectic. Rock, pop, classical. Though at the moment I'm caught on a hardstyle Spotify playlist. Gets my heart rate up and doubles as a great drown out beat when I'm studying.
Books: anything by Matthew Reilly or Jodi Picoult; also a big reader of minimalist philosophy (books and blogs); every law textbook on every prescribed reading list. At the moment I'm reading 1984 (Orwell) and Seven Ancient Wonders (Reilly).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I always always always take the opportunity to swim under a waterfall (provided there are no leeches).
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm currently in the process of learning how to make good cocktails, and I’m slowly reaching myself the guitar.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Pull up a chair, have a drink, and have a chat. I love meeting new people and sharing stories. So be prepared to share!
I can also cook a great meal! Would love to share that.
