I am a 22-year-old student and have been living in Sydney now for 3 years. I grew up in Canberra (3 hours south), and still love the place. I work part time for the Aust. Broadcasting Corporation while I finish my studies in International Relations.

I hope to be a journalist one day. For the time being, I love learning languages. If you speak a language other than English (my native tongue), then I would love you to teach me some of the basics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent a three months on the road across the United States, travelling from city to city, state to state, couchsurfing the whole way. I met dozens of incredible people and had the time of my life. I think CSing is one of the best ways to meet and engage with locals.
