About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, love

ABOUT ME

I'm a 31 year old woman who has done some travelling around Western Europe, South America and parts of Australia. I currently live in beautiful Melbourne, Victoria.

I enjoy art, reading books, great vegetarian food, trying new types of beer and seeing beautiful places.
I studied history at university.

PHILOSOPHY

To be as good to myself as I can by living a healthy life, practising yoga and trying to be as sustainable as I can wherever I find myself. To be good to others by helping them where I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed during my time travelling interstate for work and also while travelling overseas. I keep an eye on events happening in my home city, wherever that may be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed through mutual friends in a few cities but it has been great as they have shown me around their local area and introduced me to other people they know.

Interests

Travel, obviously. And I'm interested in yoga, art, history and radio. I did an Arts degree at university and I currently work in the finance sector. I'm really passionate about community organisations and cooperatives. I try to be as eco friendly as possible and enjoy going out with friends. I am also a vegetarian.

I try to read when I can. I smoke tobacco every day, even though I really should not.

I think I am getting to the point in my life where I'd like to teach other people. Somehow I am going to incorporate this goal into my life over the next few years.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste centres around folk, alt country and alt rock but also includes instrumental bands from different parts of the world and many other genres. I have also worked in community radio in Melbourne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I want to learn more languages and I can exchange my knowledge of English. I know how to cook vegan and vegetarian food and love sharing my knowledge of that.
