Hello! I am an easy going, always smiley Australian girl spending 2015 travelling throughout Europe before starting university in Melbourne, Australia in 2016.
Already this year I have been lucky enough to live in Paris (from November 2014 until June 2015) working as an au pair to three lovely girls whilst taking French classes and I am now spending the summer travelling Italy, France, Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom with my friend Louis ( https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/louis-mcauley )

I'm afraid I can't host anyone at the moment as I am travelling, however, once I am back in Australia I will finally be able to return the favour and host!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've been very fortunate in my life so far to have travelled to many exciting places with family, friends and by myself, and these trips have impressed on me the immense value of new connections with new people in shaping my experience of a place beyond the well-worn tourist track.
Overall, my most treasured travelling memories are imbedded in the vast diversities of culture, history, traditions and lifestyle of the countries and cities I have visited, all of which I have only been able to appreciate through awesome new friendships with locals and fellow travellers from every corner of the globe.
I love learning languages and I'm hoping to improve my French and Italian whilst travelling this year (and perhaps picking up another language if possible!!)
Hence, Couchsurfing really excites me as an amazing opportunity to forge new friendships and gain a deeper insight and knowledge of the languages and incredible places that I'm visiting!

Intereses

Travelling (which I hope to do a lot more of!), writing, languages, walking, picnics, finding weird, cool and wacky things in second-hand shops and flea markets, endless cups of tea, reading, street art, live music, espressos and being outdoors!
