About Me

I have been blessed to meet many wonderful travellers over the last year. Connecting with these amazing people, convinced me to box up my Melbourne life and travel (not just holiday) around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience the culture of the places I visit. I want to meet like-minded understanding people who I can share my experience with.

Interests

No expectations! Deciding what I want to do in the moment and seeing where that takes me :-)

Learning about people around me. Making new connections and growing who I am through social learning.

I also like cake.

  • culture
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • boxing

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
indie rock, folk rock, house, tech house. Sometimes psytrace, dubstep, dirty electro.. Radiohead probably needs it's own genre.

actually I get a lot out of experience how much the people around me are enjoying their music.

MOVIES
scifi, indie, comedy, oddball, movies that make you think. But sometimes thinking is to tiring so then I like movies that don't require much thinking.

BOOKS
I am reading more now that I'm travelling. Books I loved - Snowcrash, Jennifer Government, Ender's Game, Discworld - Guard Novels, Dark Matter Trilogy, most books by Dianna Wynne Jones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experience a solar eclipse with the energy of 10,000 people cheering the darkening of the sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love understanding people. I have spent so much time understanding myself and I feel like I can relate to why anyone does anything. I love helping people understand themselves and the people around them.

I have had my share of interesting experiences and people. There's always more to experience :-) and share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a good knowledge of cooking, computer skills, pop culture references.

And i can make a mean cup of tea.
