About Me

Hey! I'm a 22 year old Sydney-sider who is supposedly studying, yet keeps travelling around. Last year I studied abroad in Concepcion, Chile for the year, loved the continent so much I found a job in Medellin, Colombia and stayed there for the last five months. I still have no idea what I would like to do once I finally finish my journalism and international studies degree. All I know is that I chose the degree because I love meeting people, hearing their stories and writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people new people. Travelling to new places adds a sense of excitement and extra bit of joy that pushes me to explore and connect with my new surroundings. Also, the best things in life are free right. I'm not fussy about where I stay, it's more about what I do and who I meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - salsa, soft rock
Movies - Dystopian science fiction
Books - Hmm I've recently read a few of Paulo Coelho's books, but now they're becoming too ..surreal for me. When I next have the time I really would like to read Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and novels by Robert Galbraith.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Extended my stay in South America. You can find anything on the internet, even a good job in Colombia. So knowing no one, off I went to Colombia for five months. I learnt salsa, improved my Spanish, gained some PR skills and made international friends.
