About Me

CURRENT MISSION: Taking on Canada.
After finishing my B.A. at University of Sydney in International Politics & Government I took a year off to travel and haven't really looked back since. Travel can be very addicting!

I find writing these things hard, so meet up with me instead to learn more!

NOTE: I wrote parts of this profile almost four years ago now and I keep them just to remind me of what motivated me when I first started travelling, so if something seems out of place that may be why!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet the world and talk to it

Meet people from all over the world to kick back and relax, to walk and talk, to party and boogie.

And of course there is this:
“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
― Jack Kerouac (On the Road)

I thought was living until I went traveling for a year and realised I had felt nothing.

Liked the 'Serial' podcast series but disappointed that there was no resolution.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It wasn't until recently when I told someone that I had been travelling for a year by myself and they said, 'wow, really? That's amazing!' That I realised how amazing this entire experience has been. I am humbled by this entire experience and I consider myself very very lucky.
