Hi! I'm Sophie. I come from an almost-entirely uninhabitable desert island on the arse-end of the world called Australia. I'm a happy vegan and love sharing that lifestyle and food with people. I can show you a whole world you didn't know existed, including vegan ramen, fakeon, big moc’s, scrambled tofu, macadamia milk, soysauge, beet balls, veganaise, and much much more.

I've been an international DJ for the last 10 years, DJing in clubs in Sydney, New York and London. I recently became an entrepreneur and own an online business now selling vegan beauty products, and absolutely love it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on Couchsurfing for about 5 years now, I have no intention of using your pad just for a free night's stay and will not expect you to be a hotel, a maid service, a tour guide or anything else of the sort. I'm here for the classic experience - to be able to gain a new friend in a completely new country and share cultural experiences with them. I'm clean and respectful. I love love love meeting new people and am up for anything you can throw at me. I'm fun and spontaneous and will always be up for a new adventure with you. My philosophy in life is that strangers are just friends you haven't met yet!
