Hey there! I'm a literature and languages student at the University of Melbourne. Early 2019 I finished my undergraduate degree in Arts, majoring in English literature and philosophy. Currently I'm studying a graduate certificate in Ancient Greek and Latin. Recently I began learning German too. I love reading - can't go a day without a book :) My other loves: art, travelling, meeting new people, trying new things, astronomy, being outdoors, visiting galleries and museums.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and getting to know a place by talking to the people living there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked from Melbourne to Perth

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll share anything I have! I'd be more than happy to help people practice their English, and can help out with cleaning, cooking or anything else.

As for what I'd like to learn--where to start?! Astronomy, physics, biblical Hebrew, Ancient Greek prose composition, German, horse-riding, rock-climbing, dancing...

"...the wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst..."
- Heidegger

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to help however I can. Practicing languages, providing company, trying to cook, anything at all!
