About Me

I finished studying last year and realised there were no jobs for my degree back home which was well timed, so I've decided to add myself to the plague of Australians descending on Europe and travel about for the next 12 months.

I'm pretty laid back, just enjoying soaking up the sights of Europe at the moment.

Also I don't bring the Pikachu onesie on my travels. Sorry to disappoint.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like you don't really understand a country unless you live with locals. Hostels are great, but you can't do them all the time.

Interests

I'm a huge fan of scuba diving, most sports, reading and the national australian passtime of drinking too much. I also like taking bad photos of nice scenery.

  • music festivals
  • cocktails
  • boating
  • reading
  • traveling
  • music
  • surfing
  • scuba diving
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a Wes Anderson groupie but I'll also watch anything with zombies, so pretty varied. I listen to Asgeir, Tame Impala and if I'm on a night out, filthy filthy house.
My favourite authors are Gavin Extence and Kurt Vonnegut if I'm feeling particularly pretentious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the most amazing thing I've done was black water rafting through a mountain in New Zealand. 10/10

What I Can Share with Hosts

Witty bants? But don't expect too much, they're not that witty. Mediocre bants? I do make some mean nachos though. I am a bartender so I can probably make some cocktails for you though. Or like, sequence your genome*. Whatever floats your boat. Obviously I can also help teach English, if needed.

*I definitely cannot sequence your genome
**I maybe should have mentioned earlier I'm a genetics major.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, Fiji, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam
