I'm an Australian that has been living in Canada for the past year and a half. While I've been in Canada I have worked at a summer camp in Ontario for two years and spent my winter out in Banff working at Sunshine Village. In between jobs I have traveled around Canada a little, but I have barely scratched the surface. I just recently drove from Ontario all the way back out to Banff with one of my friends. I enjoy netball, which isn't a very big sport outside of Australia, scuba diving, spending time with my dog, and travelling. I have also traveled through a few places in Europe with my brother. Before I left Australia I was working at a grocery store while I finished my degree in Marine Science and Zoology. Being from Perth I am used to sun, sand and hot beaches, I came to Canada to experience a true winter and have subsequently found a place I would love to stay for the rest of my life.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I recently had my first couchsurfing experience with a friend and had an awesome time. It as such a great experience staying with someone who is a local but also a fellow traveller who wants to give back. As I don't really have a permanent home at the moment I am here to stay with others, but I hope I will one day be able to give back for all the wonderful experiences I am sure to have.
Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite artists are Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Vance Joy and Missy Higgins. I also really enjoy musicals, and country music. My favorite movie is About Time, and I love the idea of reading but I get too easily distracted to finish a book lately.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I don't know if it counts as amazing, but I saw Taylor Swift's 1989 tour 4 times.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I have a vocabulary filled with Australian words and slang for anyone interested. I can also make some pretty cool friendship bracelets and a hammock from rope if thats your thing.
My Interests
I was always very sporty growing up and will give pretty much any sort of sport a go. My main sport is netball, which is similar to basketball except you can't move with the ball and there is no backboard on the goal ring.
