PHILOSOPHY
I am a very positive person and believe that it is your experiences that make you the person who you are. For me, these experiences are often obtained through traveling; meeting new people from different cultures and trying new activities.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been traveling around Europe for the past couple of months with a friend from Australia, and with some Danish people who we met in Poland.
For the next couple of months, I am traveling alone and would like to fully immerse myself into the culture and everyday living from a locals perspective, and not only as a tourist who is neglected of the opportunity to experience real-living in towns around Europe.
I would like to share the exciting Australian culture with others who are interested and curious about the differences that are prevalent between living in Australia vs. living of Europe.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy reading non-fiction book on lifestyle, biographies and philosophy. When I want an easy read, or when I am hungover, fiction novels are my choice. Harry Potter is my all time favourite!
Regarding films, psychological thrillers my genre of choice. But again, pretty open minded.
Top 10 in no order: Inception, Donnie Darko, Into The Wild, Good Will Hunting, Catch Me If You Can, The Bourne Identity, Blood Diamond, American Psycho, The Social Network, Shutter Island, Thank You For Smoking (that's 11- excuse me)
Easy going regarding music, vary genres depending upon mood and context.
In car: Pop, or trance/house if I'm tired and need some beats to keep me awake!
Relaxing: chillout/ alternative Ex. Jack Johnson, Cold Play, Metronomy etc.
Studying: Classical or deep house

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm Australian and engage in many physical activities such as golf, surfing, sailing, windsurfing, Australian football, cycling. I am always enthusiastic to teach people how to undertake any of these activities.
I have just completed a Bachelor of Commerce at The University of Melbourne (Accounting & Finance), and love providing assistance to anybody who needs help!
I also love entrepreneurship and strongly believe in pursuing ideas and concepts that people are passionate about. It's also a great way to allow yourself more freedom to travel- so always keen to share entrepreneurial experiences!
