About Me

I love meeting new people all around the world! I'm friendly and i love to have a good time. I live on the idea that life should be lived to it's fullest and i am always happy to do new things.

I'm 25 years old and am currently working as a designer / producer in TV.

I'm a very social person and love to put myself out of my comfort zone. I would say I'm really eager to learn about everyone's different stories which is what attracted me to the idea of couchsurfing.

Please use the couchrequest form if you want to surf my couch as it's easier for me to reply through there:)

PHILOSOPHY

Try never to be too advanced to ever appreciate what you have in the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've decided that after years of travelling and being the couchsurfer I want to try to really enjoy the beautiful city of Sydney with people from overseas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had so many great couchsurfing experiences, meeting so many interesting and likeminded individuals. I love the brief encounters and how some people can have such a great impact on each other in such a short amount of time.
