Overview
About Me
24 year old extroverted Aussie travelling the world. I’m half indian, half Australian and my extended family is made up of everything in between- from lots of Aussies and Indians to aunts/uncles and cousins from New Zealand, Vietnam, China/France, Cuba and Mexico. I’ve previously studied an Arts undergrad degree, and whilst I’m trying to work out what I want to do with my life I have been taking any opportunity to travel. Back in Australia I currently have been working at a Kareoke bar which I have loved because I get to experience a lot of the things which I love about travel- meeting lots of new and interesting people, making new friends from around the world, sharing crazy stories and making memories (and partying a little bit too much). But it’s not all party for me, I actually am into fitness but you wouldn’t believe it from the amount of food I eat on my Instagram. I am a huge foodie, which is another thing I love about travel (trying new and interesting dishes).
I’m spontaneous, adventurous, open minded, extroverted and I love to laugh.. what could go wrong
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m currently on couch surfing because I met a girl at lunch today who uses it all the time, and hearing all her amazing experiences has made me realise I want to give it a proper go- especially because I’ve been to a lot of these places and have done all the top rated trip advisor things.. I’m looking for a unique/off the beaten track experience in these amazing cities. I have found from my travelling that the people you meet often make the place- I have stayed weeks longer in tiny towns just because the people I’ve met have made it and I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I am a massive extrovert and having friends all around the world is exciting and gives you more of an excuse to travel, plus the world feels smaller and more interconnected in the best way possible.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy most music genres, not a huge fan of hectic trance or drum and base but I’m willing to let you try change my mind! I listen primarily to house, hip hop and Latin music at the moment.
I love sad movies.. weird I know. I love historical based movies set back in time (Troy, 300, 12 years a slave). Game of thrones is boss. Recently watched red sparrow and loved it. Enjoy thriller- silence of the lambs is a favourite. Anything award winning I can get into. I also enjoy a documentary, especially those that make you feel passionate about something you never cared for before- I love having my mindset challenged. I think I should also tell you here that I do enjoy a trashy reality tv show or two... don’t judge me please just appreciate the honesty 😂
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Can’t choose one. But a few have been hot air ballooning over the Valley of the Kings in Egypt on Christmas, doing a 4 day motorcycling loop through Northern Vietnam, partying in Berlin, sailing Croatia, visiting an important religious site in India with my indian grandma, camping in the Moroccan dessert, eating the best rated croissant in Paris 2 weeks ago 😂. And many more..
Teach, Learn, Share
I’ve studied international relations and politics/law and would love to discuss and learn others opinions on these things. I love to learn anything really, I try live my life not judging things before I’ve tried them. But most of all I would love to learn to cook something from your country!! And I could share some crazy, funny, scary and overall entertaining stories with you I’m sure.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good vibes... My travelling experiences from around the world and of course a place to stay when you come to Australia! I believe that as a guest you should help out around the house so I’m happy to vacuum, wash dishes or even walk your dog!
