About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work to live, don't live to work!

ABOUT ME

Well, I grew up Tom Price, in Australia (yeah, I'm Australian) where my father worked as a mining engineer, then later moved to near Bunbury, in the south west of Western Australia, and did high school there. After high school, I went on exchange for my gap year - I ended up in Denmark where I had the experience of a lifetime. It completely changed how I see the world and what I want out of life! The people I met there and the adventures we had together will always have a special place in my heart. Since then, I've studied at university in Perth (marine science and environmental science), where I managed to take a year abroad in Montréal, Canada on exchange. There I really learnt what the word 'winter' means, and I met some (more) amazing people who will stay with me forever. Since there, I went back to Europe to study, where I completed my Master's (this cool Erasmus master program, where I spent 10 months in Budapest, 6 weeks in Greece, an internship in northern Germany, 3 months in Manchester, UK, and then 5 months in Germany again). Since then, I've done internships in Laos and back in Australia, and am now working in Paris !

I always manage to work in a visit or two, to see all my old friends - from all the amazing places I've been lucky enough to see. Such experiences are what makes life an adventure.

I love meeting new people, languages and cultures. I'm fascinated by learning, anything and everything!!

PHILOSOPHY

to travel. to see the world. to leave no stone unturned!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to see more than what a 'tourist' would otherwise see. It introduces you to locals, shows you the hidden gems and lets you see what day to day life is really like, wherever you may be.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't like horror movies... I get scared too easy watching them haha. Otherwise I don't have much preference - I'll watch anything, as long as it has a good plot and is shot well. I love Donnie Darko, Silence of the Lambs, Star Trek and Easy A... I told you, I have wide tastes :P

Same goes for books!!!
