About Me

I love travelling and seeing the amazing sites that every other tourist sees, however what I love most are the unique experiences that you have which usually involve new experiences with amazing people.

I am currently studying the violin under the Masters of Music Performance at Melbourne Uni, but am currently on exchange in Vienna. I think I've spent more time travelling around Europe than studying at uni. Oops.

I love to be silly and have fun but also know when to be serious of course! I also love animals in general. I have a dog and used to have a cat. Non of this "are you a cat or dog person" nonsense!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling over the last few months, meeting backpackers etc at hostels. Everyone seems to really recommend couch surfing so I would like to give it a shot. I really want to meet new and amazing people as well as see new cities. I think couch surfing is the place to be!

At home in Melbourne I live with my family so definitely can't have anyone over, but in Vienna I can probably accommodate a friendly face.

Interests

Music:
Obviously music is an interest of mine as I am studying it! I have a pretty wide range of musical tastes, ranging from classical to pop to indie. I think the only thing I can't do is heavy mental. I absolutely love musicals! I haven't been to one for a while I must admit, but keen for a musicals junkie to reignite my obsession.

Sport:
I love field hockey back at home and am in a women's team. I used to play netball and tennis but I think hockey has really out done both.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My exchange to Vienna has been the most amazing thing that I have done. Meeting like minded people as well as seeing amazing attractions, definitely the best.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach the violin and learn it too, could do a bit of that. But I'm mainly interested in hearing your story and learning about your life.
