I'm a university student from Sydney, Australia, travelling around Europe until I start an exchange program in Amsterdam! I love wandering around new cities, seeing all there is to see. I'm hoping to have a very relaxing holiday!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people, get involved in the culture of the city, and have a fun time in a new place! I love getting recommendations from local experts, so this seems like the perfect way to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read A LOT; even though I'm backpacking around Europe, I usually carry at least 4-5 books with me! I listen to lots of music and enjoy going to music festivals when I have the chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to do some really cool things while overseas. I've driven through a crocodile-infested river (only to have our car break down in the middle of the water), gone bungy jumping at Victoria Falls, jumped off the highest mountain in New Zealand, driven a loop around Spain and Portugal, participated in Science and Law conferences in American and Europe, and had a great time doing it!

Teach, Learn, Share

While I only speak English, I'd be happy to help anyone learning the language (and maybe I can pick up some words from other languages too!). I'm an OK cook, and have a background in Physics and Law (so if you're interested in Quantum Mechanics, I'm your guy!). More than anything, I love learning about new cultures and sharing what it is like to live in Australia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love meeting new people, and just having a conversation about different experiences and places. I'm easy going, and am just as happy to chat for hours over a few beers or sit in silence reading a book.
