Ordinarily I live in a wonderful share-house in Canberra. If you need a place to crash, I can probably ask my old roommates! I just can't promise a host :(

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Obviously to meet cool people, show them my favourite places, and find new favourite places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make an origami paper box! I can plait your hair! I can cut your hair too! I can explore sourdough making and ginger beer brewing with you! I can edit your essay/letter/blogpost for spelling, grammar, and sentence structure! I can teach you two or three swing dancing moves! I can draw a picture for you that will probably look okay. I can organize your spice rack! I can sew you a laptop case!

My skills may seem pretty limited, but I think what I can share best is an eagerness to embark on shared adventures. I am keen as a bean to learn things, practice things, and do things with you.
