CURRENT MISSION

Meandering through Europe, taking it slow, and focusing on the moment!

ABOUT ME

I'm an exchange student from Melbourne, Australia, spending a semester abroad to study in Leiden, Netherlands. I'm a former fine arts student, now studying art history and philosophy, and loving it :)

With my interests in the arts I have a particular love of museums and the arts, and I love exploring these things when I travel. However I also love the natural environment, hiking, and swimming in the ocean! I enjoy being in cities as well, learning about the hustle and bustle of a different place, and I like to get out and experience the night life/live music a city has to offer.

After a very busy couple of years I am currently enjoying a slower pace with time to travel, explore and open my mind to new things! I value open-mindedness and the willingness to be thrown into the unfamiliar.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a privilege.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to couchsurf my way around Europe in between studying! And hopefully get inspired to receive more couchsurfers in return once I return home :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yet to have real CS experience but I have stayed on lots of peoples couches/floors/backyards, whathaveyou.. I also love meeting travellers to show them around my home city when I am there! I'm really pumped to meet people and have some amazing couchsurfing experiences!

音乐、电影和书籍

Films I have watched or re-watched recently: Boyhood, Adoration, Her, The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet, Midnight in Paris, Dead Poet's Society... I find it hard to briefly describe my interests in film, music and books, but there's some examples. I love reading memoirs, I've noticed. I have a wide appreciation for music. I enjoy orchestral music but I also love a good rave, and the in-betweens vary from some kinds of (good) pop to folk to jazz to lush psychedelic rock music!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Walked around Uluru in 40 degree heat. What a privilege it was to experience the sacred history and witness the spiritually important sites of this place, and the immense heat just made it all the more intense and unbelievable.
