I'm a young, passionate creative who has travelled around the world a couple of times, but not seen as much of my own country!

I hope to rectify this in 2017, I've recently quit a position at a leading Sydney creative agency to take some time to create a bit more balance for myself.

I'm working to build up some freelance work this year so I can eventually travel while working.
I'm usually partaking in some kind of creative project and am currently exploring the idea of art as therapy and empowerment through individual forms of creative intelligence...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love films by Michel Gondry, Wes Anderson, Spike Lee and Spike Jonze. I like films that create their own little dream like worlds :)

I'm currently reading about Ayurvedic therapies, colour therapy and psychology, native Australian food sources and recipes, artistic explorations of spirituality, marriage and sexuality pre-agricultural society, design as functional art... basically I read a lot of books at once because my dyslexic attention span fluctuates too much to decide on just one.
