Short story: Just graduated uni, doing some exploring of the world before I settle back in Sydney :)

Long story:

I love travelling (like everyone else here :P), I'm trying to be more creative through writing, photography, painting (water colour) and cooking! I'm also trying to be healthier and recently started muay thai (so much fun!!) and vegetarian cooking.

Interested in a lot of things, mostly learning through reading- newspapers, blogs, books. Love hearing crazy travel stories and wanting to create my own.

I spent the first four months of this year finishing my degree in Vancouver Canada (beautiful place), then road tripping in the states for a month, a month of solo back packing in europe, and now I'm interning in China for 3 months to improve my mandarin (and because I'm still not ready to go home...)

I want to keep exploring whats out there, but I also want something meaningful to come out of it, it isn't just a "holiday" for me. I travel so I can truly understand what it means to be living, how connected we all are and how small the planet really is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals from where I travel to, to see their city in their eyes, to learn a new language, and of course to make friends!

CS is more authentic way to experience a new culture

Interests

Apart from my love for travelling, I like photography and hiking, swimming, exploring forests and beaches, and reading :)

I'm also interested in minimalism, zero waste, recycling and up cycling- love the earth.
