Hey I'm Iona.
I am a 23 year old from Melbourne, Australia.
Background studies in Art History and Indigenous Studies ~ both in Melbourne and Vancouver, CA... working at an environmental not for profit.
I love thinking about place, community, responsibility, ecology. I’m exited to make things and believe in the strength of community and creativity to make change in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
