I'm a 31 year old Australian and I've been living in Berlin since 2014. I moved there from London for a 'summer of fun' as it were, but quickly in love with the hippy haven and never returned (my London-living sister is still very upset).

When I moved to Berlin I discovered couchsurfing. Turns out having zero dollars opens you up to meeting a whole bunch of amazing people. The first person I couchsurfed with is still one of my very good friends here.

I believe in very good coffee even though that inherently makes me a hipster. It's also called 'being from Melbourne' where I'm from, which is Melbourne.

My favorite terrible superhero movie is Elektra. It's so, so bad, but I've definitely watched it more than once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Can't offer a couch at the moment but I can offer a good ol' fashioned hang and would love anyone who fancies showing strangers their hometown and fave local spots to send their kindness in my direction

Interests

Food (the flesh-less variety, and lots of it)
Wine (wein ist gut)
Coffee (self-righteous coffee snob)
Exercise (HIIT and martial arts. I like kicking)
Sarcasm (yes, it interests me)
Penguins (because they're bad-ass)
Reading (no e-readers; I like the smell and feel of a real book)
Netball (the sport Germany has never heard of)

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: Babel, The Untouchables (French), Biutiful, Fight Club, Lilya 4-Ever, Walk the Line, American History X, McCullin, Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Mad Max: Fury Road...

Music: indie/ indie-tronic and soul, blues, electro swing, Spotify's 'discover weekly' knows me pretty well... and open to suggestion.

Many many books, I try to have an equal balance of fiction and non-fiction.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer extensive coffee/cafe knowledge, and a partner for various activities: exercising, exhibitions, gigs, theatre, someone to practice sarcasm with, wisdom that comes with turning 30.
