ABOUT ME:
I am an Australian university student currently studying in Northern Sweden, which is quite different from southern Sydney where I grew up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This is tricky because I have done so many amazing things. I am very much an adventurer when it comes to life. My pictures are of me ice climbing - which was an unbelievable experience and of me on the Young Endeavour a replica tail ship (like a Pirate ship) which I sailed from Adelaide to Hobart for 12 days with a team of 20 other people. But the most amazing I have done would probably be move to Sweden to study for one year as it is filled with so many ordinary, crazy and very different experiences.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have a few mediocre very specific skills sets. I can cook Lamingtons (Australian yummy dessert kind of thing). I can knit a scarf. I can scuba dive. I can abseiling and rock climb. I have successfully gotten myself lost in basically every country I have ever visited (claiming this one as a skill = positive outlook on life). I am happy to impart my life wisdom.
As much as I love teaching, I am travelling to learn. I particularly enjoy learning Swedish, and experiencing other cultures. I am a wannabe history buff. I love learning about history, but kind of have a narrow knowledge on the subject.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My charm, quick wit and subpar jokes.
I am clean, friendly, and considerate.
