I'm Nicole, I'm 27 and from Brisbane, Australia. I flip between working as a left-wing political organiser/strategist and working as in social policy/social work. I love reading, a good chat over a beer, exploring a new place or going for a hike.

I'm pretty easy going and happy to either hang out with hosts, or do some exploring by myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My extended family is from the UK so I'm over here for a visit and tacking on two weeks in Europe on the end. I couch surfed last time I was in Europe and found it a great experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm an editor for a Brisbane-based radical left media organisation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share knowledge around campaigning and politics - have some really specific knowledge around running digital comms campaigns and electoral campaign strategy.

But also just as happy to cook a meal to share!
