G’day Couchsurfers!
I’m an Australian/Kiwi who grew up in Sydney. I’m 24 and worked for a year since graduating from studying Philosophy and History, then quit to travel the Middle East last December. I’ve been travelling ever since! So far this year, I’ve travelled through Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Italy and France, hitchhiking a fair amount of it. I’ve met a lot of incredible people along the way, and I’m hoping you’ll be a feature in the next part of the story!

I’ve got a few goals for this year, including learning French to a reasonable standard. If anyone wants some mutual language practice please let me know! I’m new to the CS community, so looking forward to branching out a bit and meeting people from around the world at different stages of life :) I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Hangouts function, though!

I love writing and photography. Though I’m an amateur at both, I’m trying to develop the craft of both of them. If you’ve got an interest in either or both of those, and/or beer, we’ll be best friends by the end of this sentence.

The world is huge and I have so much to learn. I hope I can learn at least one new fact, word, story or recipe from everyone I meet :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I’m travelling for a year without much of a plan other than to learn as much about life from different people as I can. I want to hear your stories! And I want to be able to count to 10 in as many languages as possible. I’m looking to meet both locals and other travellers and more learn new words. Eventually I want to have at least one friend in every country!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I mostly read philosophy and non-fiction, and I almost exclusively watch Netflix specials!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Travelled across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway...during winter

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I love learning new words. The word ‘catasterism’ refers to when the Ancient Greek gods would raise heroes and creatures the stars, and they would become one of the constellations. What's your favourite word?

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can tell stories, discuss big issues, teach the small amount of photography I know (including how to use the funny wheels on your DSLR) and like all your posts on Instagram for you!
