About Me

I'm a 25 year old human from Australia. I love animals, the beauty of nature and learning about life through hearing your stories/thoughts/opinions.
I grew up in the blue mountains but was living in Sydney for about 3 years..
THEN I bought a one way ticket to London, explored Eastern Europe for a few months and now living in London!
CURRENTLY TRAVELLING IN TURKEY 🇹🇷 Then I will be back in Australia so will try to have a couch available when I re-settle there :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Alicia and I stayed at a guy called Tom's house in Bristol.. that was my first time.. and it was awesome. I ended up bumping into him again in Lagos, Portugal (what a small world it is!). I also camped with a bunch of CSers at Sziget fest 2013 and 2017 in Budapest and made some really dear friends who I went on to Cs with and have since spent much time with in Sydney!
I travelled through Japan last year and met up with lots of people through hangouts and had a real awesome time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favourite times was over Laos New Year in April. I was in Luang Prabang and stayed at a hostel called 'Spicy Laos' which had an awesome social atmosphere and really friendly vibe. People would always smile and greet eachother. The new year celebrations took place over 4 days and involved giant city-wide water fights and riding around in tuktuks having beer laos shoved down your throat at every stop. awesome.

Also been to Sziget festival in Budapest twice (2013 & 2017) and they were the best weeks of my life.
