I'm from Australia and moved to Germany in 2012. There, I studied History and Russian for reasons I no longer completely understand and now direct international communications for a building physics institute (I'm even less sure how that happened). After stints in Berlin and Darmstadt, I am now back living in Stuttgart in the South of Germany.

I love to travel and sew. I hate to cook and I barely tolerate jogging (though I'll admit once I'm into it it's fine...ish).

Think that's it for now, but do ask if you want to know more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed in Spain, Finland, all throughout Germany, France and a few other places and have always had fantastic hosts, definitely a great experience and I plan to continue couch surfing in the future :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of rock music from the 60s right through to more modern stuff.
Movies: Mmmmm what have I seen lately? I like a good comedy movie, not into horror movies and rarely feel the need to watch anything that's going to make me cry (I commute a lot for work, so there's enough else to cry about)
Books: I read a lot (commuter), I read a lot of history books and other non-fiction but my favourite books are probably One Day, the Picture of Dorian Gray and Stephen King's older works

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finished school and moved country a month later...definitely a change for the better!

The wonderful and incredibly underrated city of Stuttgart if you want to visit! Otherwise I can share hilarious travel stories over a beer/glass of wine :)
