About Me

From Hobart, Tasmania. I am crazy for Tasmania, but far too curious about the world to stay put for too long. Breakfast is my favourite food and dusk is my favourite time of day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up with the loveliest, big, fun family (one of 6 kids!) and have since lived in various cozy sharehouses around Hobart. I like having people around when I get home and sharing day to day thoughts and things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music >>> I tend to walk everywhere and (until I finally adopt a dog) music remains my no.1 companion. I like making playlists for running, and receiving mixtapes from friends. I want to listen to more vinyl. I love the local music in Hobart/Aus and am always super keen to check out gigs in other cities. I am excited to be going to ATP (All Tomorrows Parties) in Reykjavik, Iceland this July.

Books >>> Currently reading Magaret Atwood's The Heart Goes Last and J. G. Ballard's The Drowning World

Film/TV >>> I struggle to watch films alone (short attention span) but I am a sucker for a dinner and movie night. On the other hand, I am very good at binge watching series some of my all time favourites being: Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Broad City, SNL, The Office, Peep Show, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Game of Thrones, Vikings, Girls, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Suits, Seinfeld, Red Dwarf, Orange is the New Black, Archer, Portlandia, Mad Men, Workaholics etc etc etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently, braving Tasmania's wintery waters to splash about in phosphorescent sea sparkles (bioluminescence)!
