CURRENT MISSION

To cultivate my mind, body and spirit. Currently living in Melbourne, studying my Masters of Architecture. Been here for about a year now. My job and previous job have taken me all over melbourne, particularly the north side (the best side).

I was in Vietnam in September 2017 for volunteering. I was in India, Myanmar and Japan 2016, all on different trips, mainly for uni.

I enjoy cooking regularly, and currently have a particular interest in Japanese food. I’ve become a master at cooking okonomiyaki.

ABOUT ME

I am intrepid. It seems the older and wiser I get the more reckless things I do. I usually end up in places I had an iota of wanting to go to in the first place. I like to go with the flow. No plan is the best plan.

My background is half Indonesian and Australian. Also have some Ukrainian in me. I studied architecture.

I've been to India twice now, 6 months the first time and 1 month in 2016 for a uni related trip. That wonderful country keeps calling me back.

I went on a gap year from 2013-14 and spent ten months in Nepal, India, Thailand and Malaysia. Near the end of that trip is when I discovered Couch-Surfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have plenty of stories about Nepal and India. Plenty of advice too, I know those countries better than I do Australia. I'm a bit of an artist, so I can share my knowledge in the fine arts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I'm not busy I can take you around town. If I'm feeling it I'll cook a decent meal. I'm pescatarian but cook vegetarian meals regularly.

I have a bicycle that I rarely use that id be happy to let couchsurfers use.
