About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Simultaneously travelling the world and getting my doctorate

ABOUT ME

My biggest goal has been (and hopefully always will be) maintaining a work-life balance. As a perma-student (just started my 8th year of uni), I've been lucky to have a fair bit of flexibility to see and do as much as possible while it's still easy to do so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I seem to have lost the old couch surfing account I had when I was doing more backpacking years ago, but I've used it more as a resource of travel information than for actual couchsurfing, which I haven't had a chance to do yet. It's more likely I'll host before I stay, but am stoked to be involved in the community either way!
