Hello I am Rie!

I am a twenty eight year old S O L O T R A V E L E R! I am so excited for my journey for the next six months and to meet so many new and interesting people!

I grew up in Victoria, Australia . Where I live is called The Dandenong Ranges (google image it , you will love it!)

I have a lovely partner at home named John and a puppy (1 yr) German Shorthaired Pointer. His name is Jones and I miss him like crazy!

I am currently wandering around the world taking photos, my favourite activity besides eating.
You can find me on IG: @ rosie.rie , I have not put any new travel photos up from this trip but if you want to get an idea for who I am this is the right place.

I am journeying back to the love of my life... S P A I N!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing for an authentic travel experience. I feel that it would be a new way to meet new friends and explore the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

M U S I C:

My favourite music is varied! I am currently listening to Lizzo, Billie Eilish and Tash Sultana.

Song that gets me dancing?... What is Love by Haddaway

All time favourites: Jeff Buckley, Elton John, Bon Iver, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Lana Del Ray, Santana, Ray LaMontagne, Foy Vance... and the list goes on...

Favourite concert experience was Sticky Fingers playing Australia Street at midnight on New Years Eve at Beyond The Valley Fest in Victoria.

M O V I E S:

All time favourite: The Great Race. Old movie with the magic and godlike T O N Y C U R T I S. This movie made me want to be just like the female lead growing up. A young and ambitious fem ale, taking the world by storm, played by the darling Natalie Wood.

Movie I love the most aesthetically: A Single Man by Tom Ford. The man is a genius.

Movie I love most for the soundtrack: Pulp Fiction .

Movie I could watch for the rest of my life and most quoted : Clueless. Bless those 90's vibes

B O O K S:

The Count of Monte Christo ~ Alexandre Dumas

Men at Arms ~ Terry Pratchett : I love the entire Discworld series and my favourite Discworld characters are Samuel Vimes and Gaspode the Wonder Dog
Favourite Pratchett quote "Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than to curse the darkness."

Sherlock Holmes ~ Sir Author Conan Doyle (the books are always better than the movies)

Pride and Prejudice ~ Jane Austin

Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry (Yes , listen to the audiobook for Fry's tasty voice!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I want to say mainly this trip!

But I have also walked a hot coal fire pit #firewalker

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and would love to learn Spanish better!

I will take as many InstaBANGERS for you as you need! I am currently pursuing photography and have already taken one hundred self portraits, I need a break from being vain, it's exhausting.

I can share my cooking with you if you'd like, I may not be as good as you but it is my favourite way of giving back.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't have a lot to share other than the above skills. Living out of a backpack I'm scant on supplies. I can share thousands of rookie travel photos ...
