About Me

I'm a really enthusiastic person who cares about a lot of things. I have just finished my honours year in a Bachelor of Development Studies where I wrote a thesis on gender and emotion in protest in Newcastle Australia. I'm interested in social justice, learning new things and meeting new people and of course I love to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My house has often been open to strangers, new and old friends. I love having an open space and I enjoy being a part of open welcoming spaces in difference places all around the world. I believe it is the best way to get to know a place. I think living more communal life styles is important and I respect others who share some of those same views.
