I’m Lauren and I’m an artist and musician operating on Kaurna land in South Australia. I’m currently employed in hospitality and saving to do some travelling around Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in meeting more like minded people and being part of a community that makes travel accessible for people like myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tough one

Music I’ve been listening to lately, a lot of 60s and 70s blues and rock Led zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, the grateful dead, modern Australian indie rock and psych rock, 90s contemporary prog and experimental, a bit of Radiohead, 80s stuff too lately has been the cure, tears for fears. This is far from a comprehensive list I have an appreciation for all music and will listen to anything.

Books I love the Greek myths and philosophy, currently reading Sophocles but also love fiction, most recently Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman, as well as constantly reading and rereading the Lord of the Rings series.

Films I am a fan of anything unusual or indie, a huge soft spot for Wes Andersons work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have run a few life drawing sessions in my home town, always amazing and a way to meet interesting people and get together to create beautiful art.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an avid painter and digital illustrator, would be happy to show someone a few tricks. I also play drums and believe anyone can learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and would be happy to share a meal or two with any kind folks who would open their home to me. I love to learn peoples stories and am always keen to share a chat and a glass of red with any curious individual.
