About Me

I’m a lawyer from Melbourne in Australia. Used to work in a corporate law firm, but didn’t love it so went off to do a masters degree in the UK. I’m taking the long way home through Europe and Asia. I’ll be working for a judge when I get back, but I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do after that - I am passionate about making a positive difference to society from an environmental perspective. I’m hoping to meet some interesting people along my travels and gain some insight into where next for the journey of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m hoping to get an authentic experience when travelling, have some cool cultural exchanges and deep conversations about the meaning of life, and make some new friends from all over the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Love it all - but in particular grew up with a lot of classical music, and now I’m getting into jazz

Movies: la la land, burning, drive are among my favourites

Books: Catcher in the Rye is my absolute favourite book. Other books that have made a deep impression are the Brothers Karamazov and Thus Spake Zarathustra.
