Hi I'm Tiana! 20yo Australian- I was born in Switzerland, have South Africa/German , and family all over the globe. I’m currently travelling- visiting family and friends in Europe, skipping winter in Aus and festival hopping. I am in a gap between studies and travelling and working here and there..I love chats about music, people, travel and have heaps of stories to tell. I love sharing food and experiences with others, and cook ,dj write and draw in my spare time. I like to think that I am an open minded, chiller who loves to laugh, chat and venture. I live spontaneously and really love travelling in that manner because I love meeting interesting characters from all walks of life and learning from this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently doing a trip in Europe from Australia. I'm nearing the end of almost a 4 month trip that was a rather spontaneous decision. I’m running on a tight budget, but am having such a great time so far meeting new people and exploring cities through the eyes or guidance of a local !

I believe meeting new people and learning the roots and character of a city through the locals is definitely the way to go, and that's pretty much why I'm on this app! It's nice to really understand the connection those have to their home city and surroundings .

I hope to form lasting friendships and also eventually return the favour if you wish to visit Melbourne, Australia one day 🇦🇺
