I'm a 20-year-old university student from Australia, currently travelling in Europe following an exchange semester at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po). I study International Relations and Japanese at university.

As a person, I'm interested in culture, languages, art, food, and things like that. I've tried a lot of strange foods! I love to surf and hike, and love the outdoors in general. I love European art. Favourite thing to do while travelling to find an interesting spot to watch the sunset with a beer (or five) and some friends. I love stand-up comedy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing so I've decided to try it out! I'm travelling solo and I've heard Couchsurfing is a great experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Australia is a far away place, so I can share my culture and knowledge of that part of the world. If anyone is learning Japanese, I can help them with that, as long as they aren't into an advanced level degree or similar. I'm not a chef, but I like cooking. I also like adventures, so if you want to go hiking/surfing/fishing or whatever then I'll come with!
