Overview
About Me
I'm a 21 year old law and economics university student currently residing in Brisbane, Australia. I'm generally very organised and a big planner, but travelling allows me the freedom to explore and be carefree. Depending on the person, I may be shy at the beginning, but give me an hour of small talk and I'm practically an open book!
I'm down to try (almost) anything especially when it comes to new experiences whilst travelling. I'm a huge advocate of immersing yourself in a culture when travelling so I usually like to experience places like the locals do as opposed to sight seeing the tourist-y things (but I'm not gonna deny the opportunity to see them either)!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to be able to experience each place that I visit like the locals do, so what better way than to stay with one, right? I love the idea of meeting new people, making new friends, and hearing about other people's stories/adventures!

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm big on 90's music. Usually you can find me listening to R&B, hip hop, afrobeats, carribean music, latin music, and island music. But I'm also pretty open minded about different types of genres -- If I like it, I like it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I got a tattoo from the oldest living tribal tattoo artist in the Philippines, Apo Whang-Od! I wanted me first tattoo to be something that reminded me of my roots.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I've been travelling since I was a child, so I'm all for swapping stories about travel (past and future).
If you're ever thinking of travelling to the Philippines, which I believe is a must, I can teach you a bit of the language to further your cultural appreciation!
