I grew up all over the place, but mostly between Australia, the Middle East, and Germany. For the last ten years I've been based back in Australia, studying and working. I love writing, particularly poetry, and self-published a book a few years back, with another on the way. I also enjoy dabbling in a little Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and am starting to get into running!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled a lot, but have done very little of it by myself, so am excited to try this new way of exploring the world! Couchsurfing is appealing for its community, reciprocity, and affordability.
