CURRENT MISSION

To not ever stop

ABOUT ME

Hey there!, I'm 22 years old, a painter, I study fine art and film studies at uni. Always planning my next trip, I love meeting other creative, progressive people. Am overseas for a year right now - would love to meet up for a coffee or beer - message me!

Here's my travel blog http://justinandlaurenstravels.blogspot.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurf and I hang out with the CS crew in Nottingham - it's a super active and inclusive community, I love it :-) I can't wait to start hosting when I get back to Australia.

Interests

Painting, films (Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Mike Leigh, Mike Nichols, Sofia Coppola), going out, travel, catching up with friends, watching ridiculous American television, reading, activism, drinking, cooking, wandering around supermarkets aimlessly, revolution, listening to music, trying to think like Thom Yorke.

You can often find me drinking free booze at art gallery openings and eating the free tastings at Trader Joe's.
