I am a Food Tech/Chemical Engineering student who moved from a farm to the city of Melbourne for study. Since that first big leap I've never stopped challenging myself and pushing my comfort zone. Spontaneous, outgoing and open minded, I love music and great food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and get exposure to different cultures and perspectives on life.

Interests

Music: always up for a live show (in any genre) or a jam (I sing and dabble with guitar/piano).
Food: I love to cook and eat many different cuisines, I know a lot about how many different foods are made and their origins.
Reading: about language, psychology, history and science.
