About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world whilst dancing all night, reading all day and debating all evening

ABOUT ME

I am doing a PhD in Melbourne. I go out a lot and like to spend lots of time with friends. I love my cat and dog. A lot. I'm vegan. I work in a book and art store. I read. A lot.

I have been to a lot of countries in Asia. I have lived in Medellin, Colombia and been to America a few times. I am currently traveling Europe.

I love having political debates and long coffee sessions.

PHILOSOPHY

I am heavily involved in vegan, queer and feminist politics/activism. I try to live with as little environmental impact as possible whilst always wanting to have a good time. I hope to debate with people about my strong convictions in order to remain informed and open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have couchsurfed at a vegan hacker collective. It was basically really fantastic and surreal at the same time.

Interests

I love reading. I am basically a bit of a nerd. This doesn't stop me from loving to go out and dance. I'm known for my bad 80s dance moves.
