About Me

ABOUT ME

I have been living in Melbourne for a while now and enjoy being in a multicultural city that has so much to offer. I love meeting new people, sharing stories and interacting about my work in advocacy for refugee and women's rights.

We travelled for 6 months last year to Egypt, Jordan, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Jamaica, Mexico, Cuba and Colombia which was fantastic!

Currently hosting a friend who just returned to Australia and won't be able to host until August, sorry :)

PHILOSOPHY

'There is always something to be grateful for!'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
