About Me

This section changes far too often as I'm always changing!

At this stage in my life (quarter life crisis) I'm currently residing in lovely ol' Perth, keeping myself busy with studying, working and making tie dye!

I've been studying for far too long and deserve another long break (a few years back I travelled and fell in love in beautiful Split, Croatia and stayed for around 2 years). Outside of studying I teach mad science to all in the science communication centre in Perth and as mentioned, I have a small business making (art-worthy) psychedelic tie dyes :)

Feel free to say hi or ask for advice about Perth, I'm more than happy to help out any avid travellers mad enough to come to P-town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have benefited significantly from this wondrous community, meeting some lovely folk along the way. Lucky for me, I found some golden hearted people who opened their homes to me when I was in need and in return I can offer words of wisdom (and great science jokes) until I have more room to offer.

Interests

I love the beach.
I'm learning harmonica. Its hard.
I play drums.
I love film photography.
I tie dye.
I sometimes talk too much
Great at science jokes.
Settlers of Catan anyone?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving in Berlin. I am utterly terrified of heights, but I did it with no fear. Ok maybe a little. Breathtakingly amazing
Hot air ballooning in Holland.
Snows in Highland Scotland.
Perth.
Met the love of my life in Croatia.
The concrete beaches of Albania.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to show people how amazing Perth can be and is. Everyone in Australia says Melbourne is the place to be. I disagree, Perth is up and coming and a great place to be.
I'd love to teach people about photography.
Sharing knowledge, culture and experiences is great :)
Anyone interested in the rapidly expanding music industry that Aus has to offer, MUST come to see bands with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good laugh at myself, knowledge of small bars/music venues and bands in Perth. Awful jokes
