Hello/bonjour tout le monde -
I am an Australian student finishing up my semester abroad in Grenoble, France. As much as I love my home life & what I study I won't be returning to Adelaide - I have decided to take six months off and explore some regions, cultures and people that are unfamiliar to me.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I am an incredibly curious soul and nothing interests me more than discovering how others have lived, or are continuing to live, in the wonderful ways that they do.

Interessen

The written word, having a good groove, hiking & the outdoors, test cricket, anything food/wine/beer related, music, art & its history, the wonderful world of podcasts, evenings spent by an open fire in the company of my family, long wine-fuelled lunches with those I love most...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Was apparently one of the first 16-year-olds to embark on a solo travel experience throughout Britain and France, according to the customs officials I encountered!

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

An inquisitive but respectful conversationalist and guest (will listen for hours or will leave you to your own space), a penchant for cooking with just about every spice known to man, stories from abroad & from home, a party trick or two..
