Friends describe me as fun, loyal, and open-minded. I have no expectations regarding you as a house guest but getting to know each other a bit beforehand would be great.

I fall in and out of love with hobbies, but I currently like swimming, watercolour, meditation, ambient electronic music/vaporwave/house, reading sci-fi and some classics. I've just started to learn Spanish and teaching myself the Salsa.

My field of study and the majority of my work have been in biotechnology/biochemistry but I've also done a lot of other things, from labouring to teaching to acting to working in a milk factory.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning to travel to Asia, Europe, and South America and thought that I'd host and connect with different people across the globe in preparation 😀

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough question - I think I've done a few amazing things but most of them are close personal stories which I'd be happy to share if we meet in person. I think finishing my Masters thesis was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

About your country

My general knowledge is fairly good so I'm happy to share anything that might come to mind. I work during the day but I'm happy to be a guide in the evenings - Canberra is quite beautiful at night, especially looking down on the city from the mountain tops which are accessible by road.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to clean, cook, and assist in anyway that's helpful to you. I don't mind shouting a round of drinks or an ice-cream or two :)
