Overview
About Me
G'day! If that didn't give it away, I'm from Australia. More specifically just north of Brisbane, in a coastal town. Currently, I am a fourth year university student with majors in music, psychology and french. Once I graduate I hope to undertake a Master's degree in Music Therapy. I'm a bit serious and a bit quirky and love nothing more to embrace life. Travel is one of my biggest passions, along with music and ice-cream (not necessarily in that order). Have just returned from studying abroad in Lyon, France, so one could say that my travel fund needs a bit of replenishing before I hit the road again. In this time, I hope to be able to keep my global networks open and meet some amazing people. Unfortunately, not in a position to host at this time (sorry!). Fairly fluent in French, and have just started learning German (because, why not?).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Travel is one of my greatest passions. With every friend made, the world becomes smaller. I love nothing more than embracing life, experiencing new things and creating memories. As a predominately solo traveler, having a global network of friends is pretty cool. Plus, having free (or cheap) accommodation is always a bonus for a broke uni student!
Interests
I am an open book. My goal in life is to be happy.
Love getting out in nature and exploring - hiking, swimming, abseiling etc. However, I am equally happy sitting with a glass of wine, a cold beer or a warm tea and talking. A good conversation must never be underestimated. Love a party as well - but you'll have to put up with my horrendous dancing abilities!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I'm a music student so this question is always the most difficult! Let's just say I'm diverse. If I can dance to it (despite being a horrendous dancer!), then that is a huge bonus! Classical, modern, pop, indie, and 80s are just some of my loves. Currently really into jazz, and jazz fusions such as electro-swing. Love discovering new music so I hope that you'll show me some of your favourites - no judgements passed. :)
Movies: No horror. Everything else I may watch.
Books: Too many to have a comprehensive list. Haven't had a lot of time to read for pleasure thanks to uni, but when I was younger I was a huge fan of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Key to Rondo Series and anything Enid Blyton.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
15th World Scout Moot in Iceland 2017 - camping, hiking and adventuring with 5000 other young adult scouts from 96 countries was such an amazing experience in such an incredible location.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to learn about your favourite things, your passions and what makes you tick. I'd love to share travel stories over a few drinks, good food and laughter. If willing, I'd be more than happy to teach you any aussie slang :P
