ABOUT ME

I have an extreme love for David Bowie, history, The Great Gatsby, obscure languages, Eastern Europe, Justice's first album, international goings-on and Tequila

PHILOSOPHY

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring." - David Bowie

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For me, CouchSurfing really made my most recent trip through Eastern Europe worthwhile - being able to get the insider info and friendship in countries that I had never been to before was by far the best way to go about my travels. I have made so many friends along the way, and would never have had the same experiences without my lovely hosts.

Interessen

I spend a large chunk of my time working at one of my three Waitressing jobs; apart from that, I volunteer with Refugees, and also with the United Nations Youth Association of Tasmania. I also spend a lot of time reading and listening to loud music.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I know my way around Hobart and up the East Coast of Tasmania - having lived here for only 6 years I still remember what it's like to be a tourist and a resident! I love learning new languages so whatever you can share is always appreciated, and I love hearing about / experiencing different cultures and practises.
