CURRENT MISSION
Save the world, see the world, write a book, chill!

ABOUT ME

I love to meet people and explore new places. I love science, and I love creativity. Life in general is pretty fascinating, I love being out in nature too, looking at the various forms of life DNA has created! I'm not always on the go though, I also enjoy writing, sketching, having good chats, watching movies, and getting absorbed in fiction.

PHILOSOPHY

Do as much as you can with the time you have, and have fun doing it! Leave the world in a better place than you found it. Never stop using your imagination.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had some great experiences meeting folk on Couchsurfing while in Australia a few years back, I've been on a small hiatus during my studies, but would love to meet folk again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far have visited some brilliant people, been to a couple of meet-ups around the place, and joined some adventurous coach-surfers on a mini road-trip up some of the east Australian coast-line.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you a bit of astrobiology, astronomy, ecology, environmental science, biology, planetary science, and animal behaviour, I know a bit about Ancient History and cultures. I know a fair bit about books and movies. I can teach you how to make papier-mache masks, proper chai tea, and other creative (but not very useful) things.
I absorb lots of random facts as well which I will probably pass on out of habit too if the subject comes up and I think you'll be interested!
I love to learn anything about anything, anyone who can tell me more about survival, science, different cultures, the world, history, philosophy will have an avid audience, and any practical skills you happen to know would be interesting to learn!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Random facts, good conversation (hopefully!), new perspectives, and I'm always up for a bit of a walk!
