Hey! My name is Phoebe I am 28 years old. I have worked as a primary and kindergarten teacher, online tutor, nanny and recently dabbling in bartending!

I'm basically just a big kid!
I love being outdoors and exploring nature. I'm a very active and energetic person.

***I am travelling with my awesome boyfriend Matt and we would love to meet up with awesome people along the way! We are friendly, fun, and would love to meet you!! ***

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people!! And I love adventures!

On my travels I have made some amazing friendships so I'd love to meet travellers on my home turf! :)

I'd happily show you around Melbourne - I can show you the places I love and maybe try new places together!

Interests

I am a very musical person, I sing in an acapella singing group and I'm learning to play the cello (slowly :P)

I studied film and photography before teaching so I love getting creative - drawing, taking photos or making things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music...that's hard because I LOVE music and so many genres but here it goes: Frank Ocean, Jarryd James, Boo Seeka, The Kite String Tangle, Seth Sentry, Arctic Monkeys, Drake, Dead Letter Circus, Gotye, RUFUS, RL Grime, Skrillex, Banks, Roy Orbison, Andy Williams, Bonobo, Flume, Macklemore, Emily King, AlunaGeorge ...and way way more. I also love good techno for a warehouse party!

Movies ..also ridiculously hard to summarise my eclectic taste but I do love The Big Lebowski, Requiem for a Dream, Donnie Darko, Dogma, Blue Velvet, The Orphanage, What We Do In The Shadows, The Darjeeling Limited, The Grand Budapest Hotel, (almost any Wes Anderson film actually), Burn After Reading, Eagle vs Shark, The Three Amigos, What About Bob and sooo much more.

I don't read a lot...I should more... but I am currently reading A Boardwalk Empire. I love reading about true stories or crime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived tough mudder!

I backpacked through Europe for 7 weeks by myself and loved it!

I did a close encounter with Giant Pandas at the Adelaide zoo.

I completed my Masters at university!

Stood atop Mount Snowdon

Teach, Learn, Share

Speak Welsh or German with me! That would be amazing!
Anything you want to share with me I'd be interested in! I always want to learn new things :)

Teach.... hmm...I can teach you how to ice skate or Rollerblade! I can show you the best nature trails that Melbourne has!

I also have a car so I can take day trips or road trips!
