A student from Adelaide, Australia studying music composition and French. I have a great interest in the arts, from theatre, dance, literature to classical and contemporary music. I've been involved in a bunch of musical things around my city, including theatre soundtracks, a cappella singing, experimental music and indie pop shows. I'm really passionate about sharing stories and experience with other people engaging creatively with other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm travelling I really love staying with and meeting locals who can show me a bit more than I could find on a map. I also really love the social side, being able to hangout with like-minded people in new places is so lovely !!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

at the end of January 2016 I finished a French study tour in Paris and Vichy and was invited to teach English in the Bavarian mountains for a week. I lvoed the combination of learning, coaching, socialising and the beautiful landscape. It created one of the most unreal weeks of my life, something I hope to do more of in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a passion for life and for the arts - I can tell them about my musical inspirations, even show them a bit of my work and talk with them about how important music and creativity is to me and to the world! I am also extremely interested to learn about their views on the world and the amazing things they have done in their lives.

I am also happy to help with cooking/cleaning and will be willing to contribute towards food costs etc. for the time I'm there!
