Feel free to call me Immy or Imo. I love live music, travel, baking cakes, costume parties and watching films (and making them too). I'm bubbly and love to chat to people from all of the place, so meeting new friends abroad is the best.

Travel has exposed me to the most incredible cultures and allowed me to meet the loveliest people in the most unexpected and obscure places. It's been delightful keeping in touch with these connections scattered across the world. The fleeting connections I've had with strangers on train rides across Europe have been some of the most memorable.

I've never learnt so much about my own country and culture then when I've been living elsewhere. I've gotta bad case of the travel bug.

I've booked a trip to the States in 2016 to fulfil my ever-growing wanderlust. I'll be traveling with my partner, Sebastian who's spent some time in the country and raves about the music festivals on offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently had a friend from Tokyo stay at my place in Melbourne and was reminded of how great it is for a traveler to see a city with a local.
I've been extremely slow to join the Couch Surfing community.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment, I'm listening to a lot of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd, The War on Drugs, Led Zeppelin and Beach House.

'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'Lost In Translation' are some classics. I can't choose favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in a fairytale city called Utrecht, in the Netherlands and getting to ride my bike through the gorgeous cobblestone streets beside the canals at night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very keen to learn about different cultures and will happy to teach others about mine. I love food and experimenting with different cuisines, so any cooking/eating together is a bonus!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to bake and am very happy to feed people cake.
