I'm about to embark on a 4 month backpacking trip through Europe - ready for adventures all along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel, for me, is about entering a global community where I can give and receive without expectation and always with gratitude. Couch surfing allows me to get through the touristy side of travel to the real stories of the places I'm visiting. Its a place where travelers can trade in knowledge, friendship and a place to sleep all the while gaining invaluable bonds and connections. I also love the idea that the people who house me while I am a tightly-budgeted young traveler may be my future house guest when I have a more secure home in Melbourne.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS! - Reading and travel are one and the same. With each step of the journey and page turned you delve further across the globe, through time and into other lives and imaginations.

More specifically: Lord of the rings, historical non-fiction, Desert Flower, Stephen Fry's autobiographies, plays of Oscar Wilde, Shantaram, anything by Stephen King, Chuck Palahnuik and Patricia Cornwell and of course Harry Potter.

MUSIC - any and all, if I can boogy I'm in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I LOVE to cook and hope to be able to share my considerable backlog of recipes with anyone and everyone I get to stay with! I like to think of myself as very social, I hope to get to know my new house buddies, and if we get onto a good topic you may have a little bit of trouble shutting me up. In my home town I am involved in a lot of activities and if there is interest and need I would love to share my passion for/skills in clothing design and creation, gardening, mixology /bar tending and the performing arts. I will also be all ears for any knowledge you have on this stuff as well as history, music, travel, art - look we can probably chat about anything if we really try :)
