About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Friends with accents

ABOUT ME

I am an only child, Australian musician turned artist who likes smart vegetarians among other things. I have terrible trouble finding North howver I am very good at finding a pen when I need one.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not the person who travels "for a holiday" or "to be free"... It's not that complicated. I'll go if the plane tickets are cheap and I want some fresh inspiration. I try to live my life in a mentality where I am just being, it's hard to master. Also, hot tip, the value of money is not real... But this is easy to say when you have a house and food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am backpacking alone around France and Berlin... Making friends, listening to music, making music, making art and practising French. I want to couch surf to find what is behind Europes beautiful doors and meet the people inside.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a new couch surfer, but I have had a beautiful experience with Lawrence, the rock n roll singer from Bordeaux who gave me a house, a bed and a cat to help my tired traveling heart.

Interests

Music, Philosophy, Art, Feminism and Queer Theory, Culture, Linguistics, Electricity.

Toulouse, I saw a robber in his get away van
Lyon, I found the noise scene and some cool philosophers
