About Me

19 years old and about to depart on my first solo adventure overseas. Traveling for 6 weeks around Europe before making my way to Montreal on a 4 month University exchange.

I grew up throughout outback Australia and have lived in both WA and SA before moving to Adelaide for University.

I'm currently completing my 3rd year in a double degree of an engineering/mathematics combo. But make no mistake, I'm not the standard introverted engineer. I love to get out there and meet new people! Currently residing in a residential college where I get to enjoy living with 187 other students and enjoying the university life.

On weekends when I'm not studying I Bartend at a local live music venue. Have also worked at the Garden Of Unearthly Delights during the Adelaide Fringe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always been interested by couch surfing, not just because it's a cheap way to travel but because it offers the opportunity to see parts of the city that you maybe wouldn't usually see.

I'm hoping to make my first trip overseas memorable and I thought that I may as well jump at every opportunity I can and couch surfing seems like that chance. I'm excited to make new friends and explore the city through a locals eyes.

Interests

I play Field Hockey and Cricket, love watching sport and would always enjoy learning a new sport in a new country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a groomsman in a traditional Khmer Wedding!! Quite recently my dad was married to a Cambodia lady in a small town just west of Phnom Penh. So I was apart of the wedding ceremony and had the opportunity to wear traditional clothes and be apart of the experience. Not many Australians can lay claim to this!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes. I always am up for a laugh and am a very spontaneous person. I'm up for anything and promise to not just lie around all day and do nothing. I can also share the Australian culture of mateship really, where we are more than happy to make friends with anyone.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, England, France, Hong Kong, Netherlands

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia
