ABOUT ME

Hello to all!

I'm a bit of a wanderer from Perth Australia. I've lived in the USA, Canada, France, and Greece, and can't stop travelling. I love to challenge and immerse myself in different cultures and ideas.

I'm new to this site, and think it's a wonderful concept for sharing cultural experiences, gaining insight into foreign cultures, and forgoing the standard hotel/hostel arrangement for something richer and more memorable.

I'll be travelling to India, Nepal, & Russia starting in January. I'm hoping to get to know some locals through this site.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Brief experience with Servas staying with some wonderful hosts (similar idea). Keen to start getting involved.

Interests

I love to travel and learn about different cultures. I'm also passionate about music, writing, history, comedy, new foods...and interesting conversation!
