I am a young teacher, artist and jack-of-all-trades creator from Australia. I recently arrived back from the USA where I experienced a lot of kindness and generousity, so I want to pay it forward by offering my place to stay. I love talking to people and hearing their stories, as well as exploring new places and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Originally to find safe, legal places to sleep for free at the last minute, so I get it, but I then met some great people on here. Now I want to meet people from around the world and learn more about other places.

Interests

I have always been into making things and telling stories, but lately I've been finding joy in active stuff like bushwalking, kayaking and exploring.

Music, Movies, and Books

I had a weird old folk/country music radio show in Perth for several years and got a taste for old time music.
For books I've been loving Flannery O'Connor, Faulkner, Jesmyn Ward and George Saunders. I love anything southern gothic or black comedy.
Movies, I like revisiting old pulpy Australian films. Watch 'Wake In Fright' if you want a taste of gothic Australiana.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled the Deep South for 2 months without staying in a single motel. Stayed in tents, Wallmart car parks, couches, spare rooms, bunkbeds.
