About Me

ABOUT ME
Hey Couchsurfers!

I’m from Melbourne, Australia where I’ve been working for the past few years as a semi-corporate worker bee. Mostly, I love eating great food, going to gigs/seeing djs, having a drink with mates and generally take in the revolving door of new and often random events around Melbourne.

I am obsessed with travel and exploring the world, having lived in Mexico, Peru and Paraguay. I’ve also been super fortunate to have been able to travel extensively through Asia, Latin America and parts of the States and Europe.

When I’m travelling, I love to wander and take photos, eat six meals a day, go to art galleries, check out the local live music, and generally, meet interesting and diverse people. I'm pretty spontaneous so if something piques my interest, I'm likely to go for it!

I'm based in Mozambique for the next few months, hoping to improve my Portuguese and generally, see more of what the country has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
