About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling solo and with friends around Eastern and Northern Europe.

ABOUT ME
Aussie Media + Comms graduate. Freelance writer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet others, to make connections, to share culture and to travel cheaply ;)

Interests

Many interests including travelling, people, writing, hiking, food, locals, music, drinking, cooking, coffee!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my life - I love a broad range of music styles and collect from people I meet around the world.

I also play guitar (but left-handed)

Books: Whatever's within reach...

Right now I'm reading:

Paul Theroux
Franz Kafka
Ernest Hemingway

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't think of just one!

-I've flown over every line of longitude in the world...

-Visited 30 states of the USA...

-Drove a large van at high speed around Bristol racetrack in Tennessee...

-Visited Russia, Sweden, Norway and France in the same day (by accident!)

-Got searched at gunpoint in Uganda...

-Nearly died in Kosovo...

-met so many inspiring people in my life who have impacted me in some way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love language, culture, connections, human interaction.

I write a lot.

I'm always looking for music recommendations

I will walk around a new city all day, without stopping.

I have taught people how to speak English.

I will spend hours talking about music, politics, history, current affairs, culture.

Or we can spend hours just being silly...

If you spend time with me, you have a friend in Sydney.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation!

If you are able to host me I will never forget the gesture. I will be here in Australia sometime in the future when you come to visit me, hopefully able to host in return!

I am respectful, easy going and low maintenance. Happy to help with cooking.
