About Me

**traveling in South America Nov-Dec**

29yo born and raised in Sydney.
Things I like to do: eat cheap tasty food, inhaling green tea ice cream, visiting art galleries and live gigs. I like shiny things. I like to point out random things in the middle of an intense conversation. I like to think I am good at taking photographs.
I have a bucket list of things to do before I want to settle down and be a proper adult.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is a way to connect with locals or other travelers to experience a city together and share stories or a journey and to learn something from each other. I often travel alone and love using CS to connect with other travelers, it does get lonely on the road 🤔
One day, I'll have my own place in Sydney and hope to host!

Interests

Traveling - I seldom visit a city abroad twice as there's just so much to seeeeeee. I enjoy wandering aimlessly around a city and. I like to sit back and people watch. Imagine the life they're living. Giving them a story of my own. I might have a notebook on hand and scribble some of these thoughts down along with some non-artistic drawings to one look day back on and think... man my handwriting is horrible!
I also think I can take good photos, share photography tips if we ever meet!

Food - I love food so damn much. I often eat with my eyes and over order :( Perhaps join me for a meal? I also love cooking, if I stay with you - I can make you a decent meal or cooking together is fun too! I also ask a LOT of questions about food. I am inquisitive in nature. I might sound blunt/panicked but my mind works so quickly and sometimes I muddle up my words when trying to ask questions because I am just so excited about food!

People - what's your story? I'm a great storyteller and almost just as good listener. I like hearing about your craziest/happiest/saddest adventures. I like to do things that gives me an adrenalin rush like jumping out of planes or off a canyon. I've come from a family who has migrated to Australia after the Vietnam War. I am the first of my generation to be born and educated here in Australia - I do have interesting stories to tell about how I have grown up trying to balance between Eastern and Western cultures. Ask me about my mum, I have extremely funny stories to tell.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love horror movies especially after a couple of drinks, I also yell a lot in movies. That might annoy some..
Old action movies. Die Hard. Old Fast and Furious. Jason Statham anything.
I do enjoy the odd melodrama but I get really wrapped in the character and I cry.
I have cried in nearly every Grey's Anatomy episode. It's just so bloody intense!

Music - oh tell me a scenario and I will play you a song for you. I love so many different genres of music.
I dance to Calvin Harris. I zone out to Chopin. I shower to Electroswing mixes. I drive with RUFUS. I walk in autumn to Vampire Weekend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydived with views of the Swiss Alps, no feeling in the world like free falling from such a height!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to meet anyone everyone.
I can not host but happy to hang out if our free time aligns.
I love to tell stories as much as I like to hear them.
I work in radiotherapy, if you're interested to learn about killing cancers - I can demonstrated. I'll bring my cancer killing gun.
