CURRENT MISSION

learn how to say "hello" in as many languages as possible

ABOUT ME

I love music, singing, playing a little on the guitar. I've always enjoyed cinema and have recently gotten involved in a film movement which started in Quebec and made it to our sunny shores, so I'm starting to experiment a little with the camera and editing, which is loads of fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a massive travel bug when I was younger and I'd like to Couch Surf so I can get it back again (I've been too cosy at home of late). CS has literally opened up the world to me - it's very exciting!

I share a house with two other people so I can't advertise the couch, but if I stay with you then you're more than welcome to stay on my couch/futon if you ever come to Sydney.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with Asha in Toronto and with Roxanne in Quebec City. What an experience! They were the sweetest hosts, and I am so glad I didn't stay in a hostel or hotel - I'm a couch surfing convert now.

Interests

Music, cinema, food, road-tripping around Australia (if you haven't done it you're missing out!), the beach.
