CURRENT MISSION

To leave some footprints in the sand...

ABOUT ME

Im a 22 years old from Adelaide, South Australia. Adelaide is a small, but lovely place to live (population just over 1 million people). It can be quiet and a bit boring at times, which is part of the reason I am looking forward to travel! As a day job, I am a research scientist working for a Molecular Immunology Lab on Stem cells at a Children's Hospital. Whilst I am passionate about science and love my job, dont get the wrong idea! I enjoy going out to pubs, bars,nightclubs, and seeing live music, theatre, dance. Im passionate about the environment and enjoy seeing wildlife and hiking. I love meeting new people, especially people from different backgrounds with interesting stories to tell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

just joined! Im travelling around south America for a few months, and thought couch-surfing would be a great way to meet new people, and have some great experiences that you often dont get if you just stay in a hostel! The few couchsurfers Ive met so far have been wonderful, and have contributed greatly to my experiences in their cities.

Back in Australia I was living with my parents (trying to save money!), so didnt have a couch to offer. I look forward to moving out when I get back from travel, and hosting some surfers of my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive met some great couchsurfers while traveling through south america.
