Hey Im Frances and Im a Geography student in Melbourne. I believe that I have something to learn from everyone I meet and try to bring joy into my interactions as much as I can. I am most interested in the creative arts and in sustainability and I love to discuss ideas with people, though I can definitely enjoy a beer or 4 and a dance when the time is right! Love a wander around a museum or gallery and can point you in some directions in regards to that in Melbourne :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couch surfing to meet new people and broaden my world! I want to connect with my community who I haven’t met yet, have some laughs and share some knowledge.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music I like funk, house, reggae, punk, folk, literally almost everything. Recently I have been listening to a lot of Fela Kuti the legend and Angel Olsen who’s a folk singersongwriter.
At home I spend some time seeing live music.⚡️
I love to read and I always need recommendations and seeing what is well loved in other people’s collections! Right now I am reading a lot of Ursula Le Guin.
I like arty films and beautifully shot films, I think because I paint I always think in terms of colour, my favourite movie I saw recently was Call Me By Your Name 🎶✨

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Painted an artwork that I felt proud of // made a hardcover photo book that I also felt proud of

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about cooking, surfing, and maybe a little bit about clay work or painting

I want to learn everything! But I’m especially interested how to learn to care for others and the planet, art, music, permaculture, spirituality practices ✨
