About Me

Australian backpacker in London!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to chill with some locals and get a more authentic real feel for the place we're in. Of course I'd like to check out the main tourist attractions, (would love some tips, suggestions!) but I'd also love to discover the local bars, cafes, restaurants and hang spots that the locals go to, if you don't mind sharing your secrets!

Interests

Exploring a new place, new foods, culture, a foreign language to tackle. I enjoy the slight awkwardness of being out of your comfort zone! In a new city I love walking through the streets, checking out local markets, cafes, parks, live music, putting down the map and wandering. Coffee all day. Beers at sunset. I like making things with my hands. Design, architecture, illustration, photography, things to capture my imagination. Nature. I love the city but the country more! Working on my history and geography.
