About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a 21 year old midwifery student from Melbourne, Australia. I have a passion for travel and health and hope to combine these passions with a future career in humanitarian aid work in rural and remote communities both in Australia and abroad. I love love love all things midwifery and women's health but am also passionate about veganism, the planet, my bike, my dog and books!

PHILOSOPHY

You are enough

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered couchsurfing whilst travelling around Europe with a girlfriend. Currently, I don't have the space to host, however, hopefully in the near future this will change. I love to meet up with fellow couch surfers in my city, say hi!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a lot of great people from all over the world and made a lot of life long friends.

Interests

I love to write down my thoughts, ride my bike, learn new things, swim in the ocean, eat yum food, wake up early, be challenged, read, laugh all the time, sing (badly), climb mountains, make friends, be in the sun and explore the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen many beautiful places, met many inspiring people and done a lot of exciting things. However, no matter how many births I am a part of, delivering a baby will always be the most emotional, beautiful, awe-inspiring experience I could possibly imagine and nothing else can even come close.

Teach, Learn, Share

"What is essential is invisible to the eye."
“It wasn't only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy, it was confusion and misunderstanding; above all, it was the failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you.”

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a little about a lot, I have thoughts on most and I want to learn everything.
