About Me

Globetrotting student who loves to dive head first into new cultures and experiences. I have never say "never" attitude, and am willing to try almost anything. I'm the opposite of a creature of habit, which I guess that makes me a creature of spontaneity, so let's exchange some music, hunt through some op-shops and drink sake in poorly lit downtown bars.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the year's I have found that there is a stark difference between a "tourist" and a "traveller," and I have found that CouchSurfers are the latter. We don't want to spend a fortune on accommodation when we want to spend the money on memories instead.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music. I mostly listen to indie-rock (ex. Two Door Cinema Club, Glass Animals, Chet Faker), but I also enjoy EDM and classical. I have spent a few years living in Melbourne, Australia which is a city with a great music scene and Triple J radio, which is arguably the best radio station in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing to Annapurna Basecamp in Nepal

Teach, Learn, Share

Constantly praise the world around you. Don't strive to be happy, strive to be grateful :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not only do I have experience working in a 5-start restaurant specializing in "New American" cuisine, but I am also fairly independent. If you are too busy with work or prior commitments I have no problem navigating my way around the area. However, if you want to take me to your favorite sushi restaurant? Let's do it! Want to go dance the night away? I'm game! Always ready for a good time.
