About Me

Originally from the Barossa Valley, South Australia I have lived and worked in and around the Adelaide CBD since 2010 as a Graphic Designer, then Studio Manager. However, from April 2017, I will be travelling around Australia discovering our great brown land.

But despite being on the move, I spend a lot of my time working remotely for a Graphic Design Studio in Adelaide. As a result, I require extended periods of time spent settled in one area - perfect for couchsurfing and meeting new people! I have also been house-sitting full time, since August 2016, and currently trying my hand at couchsurfing.

From my time spent house sitting I have grown my love of pets, gardening and helping out where I can. I'm a clean, responsible, non-smoker, without children or pets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a long time house-sitter I'm completely fine with living with other people and helping out where I can. Often my tasks include looking after pets, in particular cats for some reason? As much as I love these furry creatures it's sometimes easy to get cabin fever. As a result, I Couchsurf to meet new people, enjoy the company of others (humans!) and continue to experience new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I spent a fair chunk of my adolescence volunteering on a community radio station back in the Barossa, which opened my eyes to a massive range of music styles and tastes. So, pretty a pretty broad range. If I had to pick one music genre it'd be alternative modern indie rock/pop.
