About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life!

ABOUT ME

I was born on the flat, dry, barren plains of Western Australia and although they have their own kind of unique...dusty beauty, I found myself drawn to the green meadows and cold snowy mountains of Europe so I quit my job, sold all my furniture and left down under to spend a few years living here! I just finished a year backpacking around europe and now I'm about to start a 2 year masters studying renewable energy in Eindhoven.

Love adventures (defined broadly), travelling, meeting new people, partying, cooking, late night philosophy, music (I play piano and sing a bit), beaching (yes, in australia we're allowed to use 'to beach' as a verb), hiking, playing squash, falling asleep in the sun in random parks in new places I visit, learning new languages...

PHILOSOPHY

"Do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be...yeah"
-The Master's Apprentices

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future"
-Galadriel, Lord of the Rings

"I am the Walrus"
-Paul McCartney, Beatles

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only learned about couchsurfing while traveling in Europe so at this stage I've only surfed, but once I settle down again I'm really looking forward to hosting people from all around the world and restore the karmic balance :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've surfed in Germany, Austria, Hungary, France, Denmark, Norway, Bulgaria, Russia and Slovakia and met awesome people I will keep in contact with for a very long time. I've also met some great musicians and cooks too and would love to meet more so if you happen to play, sing, or cook consider yourself high on my wishlist :)
