Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fun, friendly & open minded people from all over the world while I am traveling in their home country or they are traveling in mine.
I love to make new friends and connections with people and I enjoy learning more about the world, different lifestyles and people.

Interests

One of my interests is hosting people from other countries whether they are an exchange student, Couchsurfer or local, anyone is welcome! When I was 14 I hosted my first exchange student for 2 weeks from Japan and since that experience I got heavily involved with an exchange organisation in Australia and continued to host exchange students from Italy, France, Japan & Spain.

I am interested in exploring the world and meeting new people. I love to socialise and make new friends!

I love the beach, my favourite place to spend time. I love to keep fit and exercise at the gym, going for walks, or bike riding. I love dancing in nightclubs, partying at music festivals and being outdoors surrounded by nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music of all genres whether it is pop, hip hop, indie, alternative, metal, rap, or dance music. My favourite genre at the moment is techno and I love going to nightclubs and dancing to it. Other electronic music genres i love to listen and dance to are house, disco, psytrance, deep house, minimal, tech house, nu-disco, dubstep & bass.

I have also been to countless music festivals around the world, the most recent one being EDC Las Vegas which was one of the biggest festivals I’ve ever been to and the most incredible experience. ✨

I have seen music artists such as Charlotte De Witte, Ben Bohmer, Boris Brejcha, Adam Beyer, Ben Klock, Nina Kraviz, Glass Animals, Tiesto, Deborah de Luca, Rezz, Excision, Florence & The Machine, Lana Del Rey, Black Tiger Sex Machine, A-Trak, Blur, Kim Petras, Elliphant, Disclosure, Lily Allen, Alesso, Kayzo, Block Party, The Offspring, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Miley Cyrus, Blink 182, Linkin Park, Wiz Khalifa, Major Lazer, Skrillex, Diplo, Slipknot, The Temper Trap, Korn, Simple Plan, Danny Brown, Snoop Dogg, Flume, FKA Twigs, Alison Wonderland, Lorde, Taylor Swift, Paramore, Vic Mensa and many more!

I also love most movie and book genres, such as horror, thriller, comedy, action, adventure, and drama! I’m open to everything and it’s always exciting discovering something new. My favourite tv shows are Rupauls Drag Race, American Horror Story & Stranger Things💡 I am a massive drag fan and love going out to drag shows, especially when I’m in a new city!💅🏼

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 3 month exchange living in Naples, Italy, when I was 16 years old. This was an amazing experience to have at such a young age and I learnt so much about the Italian language, people and culture.
This lead me to do a University exchange when I was 20 in Utrecht, The Netherlands, where I lived for 6 months. From these experiences living abroad, I have grown so much as a person, become more confident and I am able to express myself more openly as a queer person. 🌈 🏳️‍🌈
It was from these experiences that I gained my passion for travel and my interest to explore the rest of the world.
I have never stopped wanting to travel since! ✈️

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always open to learning and trying new things.
I want to learn about all the different countries of the world, the people, the lifestyle and the culture. I can also share my perspectives on what I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My positive and open-minded attitude about the world, people and lifestyles as well as my travel and festival experiences and my love of nature, animals and the beach.
I am also very polite, helpful and friendly and enjoy spending time with people whether it's at home, outside exploring, going to dance at a club, sight seeing some or going out for yummy vegan eats 🌱 🎉
