CURRENT MISSION

three year plan, oh yeh!

ABOUT ME

i'm a nerd. i become wildly passionate about my new fixations.

these currently include, but are not exclusive to, BERLIN!; riding my bike in gangs with grrrls; trashbaggery; rediscovering awesome video clips from the 80s and 90s; changing my hair colour more often than i change my bedsheets; exploring abandoned army bases and theme parks; free spaces; doing my homework; vegetable nutrition; cooking dinner for people i like; struggling with the german language and so forth...

i study theatre. i cried the first time i visited the berliner ensemble. NERD!

PHILOSOPHY

is best expressed by the Savage Garden song 'Karma' (what you give is what you get returned!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

talking enthusiastically about the two cities i call 'home' - melbourne (where i currently live and love) and berlin (where i will soon return with awesome, enterprising plans - look out!). happy to give tips and advice in both cities and would love to host and meet more of you in melbourne.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i spent my first few months in berlin living in the infamous Big Pink House, the residents of which must be up for some kind of award for Most Prolific Hosts IN THE WORLD! we hosted people every night - sometimes upwards of ten. i met a lot of my good friends in berlin through cs, surfed in czech republic, hungary, poland, scotland, france and germany and would love to return the favour by hosting more at home in melbourne.
