About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover and share the best and most sustainable wines and coffees of Central and South America with Australia.

ABOUT ME

I believe humbleness is the most important human quality and i want to learn from as may different people and experiences as I can fit into a lifetime. Everyone has something to offer. I learn languages so I can travel and work and learn. I live in Melbourne, born and bred. I am a bit obsessed with beverages that speak of toil and soil.

PHILOSOPHY

Sensory pleasure and effective altruism. All at once. I'd love to explain this further!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had some of the most beautiful experiences through couchsurfing. I have travelled a lot using CS, it's the best way I know how to be in a city not my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

6 weeks in the U.S, a few times in Mexico, Spain for a few weeks and Belgium for a week.

Interests

When I travel I like to discover a city through the people that live there. I ask a lot of questions and I love to share my excitement for agriculture, development, wine and coffee.
I'm not as wild as i possibly could be, i tend to choose quietish things over loud, but i do love to get my awkward and uncoordinated groove on as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

argh, uncool question. I NEVER read this part of peoples profiles, its very unhelpful and quite boring.
but generally as long as a song, book or movie makes me think and question and challenges things I may have taken for granted, I'm down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

figured out that 'finding yourself' doesn't happen anywhere else but here. know what you're looking for and you're nearly there.
That being said, the middle of Australia with nothing around except more stars than you ever thought possible is a great place for reflecting and the like

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach coffee and wine tasting, English, and Spanish and French, and i have endless googly eyes for people who passionately share what they know and love. I'm a learner by trade.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let me cook for you and choose a wine to match.
