About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just finished a semester exchange and now I'm travelling to Lebanon for a couple of weeks.
ABOUT ME

I love travelling and all that it brings. I've made so many great friends around the world and had my perspectives broadened by experiencing others' cultures.

After travelling and working for a number of years I'm now a full time student in Melbourne Australia, finishing an undergrad in global politics. When I'm not studying I usually like to spend my time bouldering / rock climbing, cycling, hanging at cafes with friends, watching scary movies with my horror film fan boyfriend or going to music gigs / techno parties.

I also enjoy photography, especially while travelling - http://gavinheight.tumblr.com/

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most types of music, there is a genre to suit every type of mood or situation. Love heading out to live gigs whenever I get the chance.

I generally read non-fiction stuff for my studies but like a good novel to take me away from all the heavy reading sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking solo through the Indian Himalayas in Ladakh was incredible. Until that trip I had never been at altitude or seen falling snow. Standing at 5000m with what seemed like the whole world laid out below me. So exhilarating!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully a good laugh and some interesting conversations. I'm relaxed and easy going and love sharing and hearing stories. I can make an alright pasta too :)
