About Me

Hey everyone! I love travelling, meeting new people and food. I have been travelling around Asia this year, including teaching English in Japan for four months. I have had a couchsurfing account for a while now, but for some reason it wasn't working so I had to create a new one. I would love to host people but it's not possible right now, I need to be the guest at first until I can find a place in Melbourne!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been having an amazing time meeting new people on my travels, and I don't want that to be over now that I'm settling back into work and life in Melbourne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went trekking in the jungle in northern Thailand, near Chiang Rai, with a local guide who cut down bamboo with a machete and carved his own cups, bowls and cutlery. He also picked out hundreds of caterpillars from inside the bamboo and cooked them, and we ate them and they were surprisingly delicious.

What I Can Share with Hosts
