About Me

Hello, I'm a 22 yr old Australian girl currently enjoying what the northern hemisphere has to offer.
I just finished an exchange semester in Monterrey, Mexico and am looking to do a bit of travelling.
I speak Swedish and some Spanish.
Scorpio Pride!

I am studying a double degree in law and politics.
Always seeking out new adventures (often in weird places).
I'm pretty open minded and the embodiment of the phrase 'I'll try anything once', for better or worse.

PHILOSOPHY
Paradise is a state of mind...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I'm looking to experience places beyond the whole hostel thing by staying with locals. I've done enough stints in overcrowded dorms and want to explore new cities by getting to know locals.

And of course to make some new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rolled around in the snow under the northern lights at 4 am, in -25, in my underwear, 100 kms north of the Arctic Circle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an experienced traveller and couch resider. I don't cling and won't ask of much besides somewhere warm to sleep. I respect boundaries! I'm also fastidious and love to cook, if you've got a favorite dish let me know cause dinner with new friends is the best. Oh and I usually do everyone's dishes just cause...
