I'm 22 years old who has lived in and around Sydney my whole life, originally from the beach I have always loved the outdoors, swimming in the ocean or having a surf. I now live in the inner west city suburbs of Sydney where I am focusing on my career in the Australian film and TV industry.

The beauty of working in the film industry allows me to only work a few months at a time, leaving my time off to travel around the world. 2019 holds a lot of travel plans for me, starting with Canada/New York City in April. I love meeting new people, connecting and hearing great stories, drinking, dancing, or taking to the outdoors - hiking, surfing, riding, skating, etc. I love to learn on the go and I am very open minded to doing crazy things or taking risks, whichever works I will take the opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking to meet people who can offer me insights into different walks of life. While it’s great meeting other travelers, often it’s through locals that you get a real sense of a place, and Couchsurfing is a great way to do that. I have travelled to many places, half the time staying in air bnb or hostels and the other half with couchsurfers - and they are always way more fun :)

Interests

I graduated Sydney Film School in 2016 and have worked for numerous TV and film production companies since. I have recently been involved on a variety of feature-films shot in Australia (Sydney and Melbourne). I love everything film, it has been my passion and now my career for over a decade. I always try to watch a movie a week and review the good and the bad for each film.

I also love photography, music, listening to podcasts or reading non-fiction, sometimes political or biography books that really make you think.
