Hey! I'm Shannon from Brisbane, Australia! I love meeting new people from around the world, immersing myself in a foreign culture and seeking out adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe you learn so much more about the culture of a country when you hang out or stay with local people

Interests

I've played a bunch of sports over my lifetime, particularly athletics and touch footy. I'm into nature, hiking, traveling of course, experimenting in the kitchen, mountains, yoga/Kirtan, cooking/trying new exotic foods and cuisines
