I am currently carrying out an internship in an architecture firm in Zurich, after finishing a semester exchange in Mendrisio, at the Accademia di Architettura.

I have grown up in Perth, Western Australia but have spent a lot of my time over the past 8 years since travelling and studying abroad. I have previously finished a Bachelor of Arts (humanities) majoring in French language, but also studied Art History, German language, Linguistics and Psychology within the degree - so i have broad interests!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a lot of energy and ambition in my life which often means I end up travelling alone! I think meeting people from different places and with different perspectives - or similar perspectives, keeps me grounded and interested, and it seems to be an important part of my life. . I find it one of the best ways to get to know a culture and a city.

I also wish to one day be able to host all of the wonderful people. :)

Interests

I, like almost everyone else on the planet, love music. (coming to Stockholm for the Jazz festival)
I am drawn to the arts & architecture, philosophies especially to do with perception, but also sport. I grew up with two brothers and it feels like my whole childhood was playing soccer kicking a ball around in the park.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to have a long list here but I deleted it because it's always changing!
I am currently reading "spell of the sensuous" by David Abrams, who gives an interesting insight into the place of humans in the world...
