Born in Brisbane, grew up in Sydney, moved to Oxford, England, when I was 13. I love to travel, explore new places, meet new people. Passionate about music, theatre, literature, art, politics, and the environment. If only any of those were easy to make a living out of. Until I figure that out I plan to remain an eternal student and go on learning forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people. Solo travel is one of my favourite things in life but it's easy to sometimes feel as though you are just passing through a city and never really understanding it. Couchsurfing is the perfect remedy for that feeling and I love getting the local perspective on a place.
