ABOUT ME:

Girl wonder from down under, illustrator of cute things and explorer of the world. Currently fulfilling side quests to avoid my main mission.

PHILOSOPHY

I've always loved the Rumi quote; "What you seek is seeking you."
I believe in following and trusting your instincts; accepting life as it comes, in all its forms for the journey that it is. And sending positive energy out into the world (it does come back!)
Be kind, be brave, be humble.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every person is a world unto themselves and so every time you meet a new person you discover a new world which kind of makes us space explorers and I think that that's super duper rad.

Interests

Art, literature, philosophy, chai tea, hiking, cycling, music (jam sessions are my jam), long and heated discussions about fictional universes, tree climbing, video games, hearing about peoples passions and their fond memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled through a forest in the Netherlands while playing the ukulele. Preeeetty proud of that since before I moved there I fell off my bike every time I rode it.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
I can teach you the ancient art of merging your chin into your neck, therefore ruining every potentially nice photo of you. I'm also an avid doodler and am happy to run through some basic art lessons or even just fill you with the pointless knowledge I've attained throughout my life.

LEARN
Do you speak a language other than English? I'd love to learn even a little bit of your language, though my accent is a little overpowering.

SHARE
Happy to share meals and experiences with you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hilarious anecdotes, a jam session/sing-a-long, sketches and drawings if you so desire. There's potential for a home-cooked meal too just say the word!

WHY I CAN'T HOST:

I work as an Au Pair which means I live with a host family and work with children so hosting isn't an option at the moment. When my situation changes my door will be open. :)
In the meantime feel free to hit me up for tips if you're travelling to the Brisbane/Gold Coast/Byron region of Australia. Or are in Edinburgh or Glasgow and want a companion of a Saturday.
