Hi! I am an oceanographer who is studying engineering but have quit my job, packet up my things and hit the road. Having lived and studied in Norway for 6 months I am currently travelling around Europe. Basically I love to do anything, swimming, diving, hiking, climbing, sports, chilling out, going out! I am really hoping to connect with people where they live so I can see the places the way they do. I enjoy a good chat, to socialise, and engage in in depth debates, but I am also self sufficient and can get along well on my own, hopefully with a few local tips! The more people I can meet the better! And when I return to Aus, my door will always be open for my new friends :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Totally flexible with movies... anything but horror! I am definitely no movie expert, but I do enjoy watching them. I love to read and have a small book club with a friend at home, my range of genres is huge, from crime, to fantasy, to non-fiction to classics. Always keen for recommendations for good reads, and always keen to recommend some in return.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a trip up to Tromsø to go on a day voyage to swim with the Orcas. It was a truly amazing experience. I had such a great time with all of the people on board the vessel and got to experience the Orcas and humpback whales in there element, I swear one looked at me as well!!
