I love to be with people, all the best experiences happen with others. However I am independent and know how to entertain myself. I love finding out about other peoples perspectives on life and the world.

I live in my own home with one housemate and my dog & a cat :) Right now I am studying Specialist Makeup at Melbourne Polytechnic.

I don't accept guests unless you use the proper "Couch Request" function and I won't accept guests who don't refer to my profile to let me know why you think we'd get along. If you want to stay in my house, the least you can do is put in the effort to read my profile. I know this sounds blunt, but I get a lot of requests from people who don't understand the nature of Couch Surfing and think it's just 'free accommodation'

** I will not tolerate racism, misogyny, homophobia or any other form of bigotry... Please do not bring these attitudes into my home **

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about couch surfing for the first time in May 2010. I have surfed a few couches in the USA and now I am back in Australia I have opened my home up to other travellers!
I met many wonderful people while couch surfing in the USA. It made the journey so much more meaningful. I have a couple of CS friends (who I surfed with in Denver in August 2010) who came to stay with me in April 2012, and I look forward to meeting many more!

Interests

I love music, festivals, people and fun in general.
I am always up to try something new, whatever that may be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a piece of space station fall to earth. I was outside at night and all of a sudden there was a bright flash. I was really confused and looked around and when I looked to the sky there were all these twinkling particles falling down to earth. I called an astronomical society and they told me it was part of a space station! In fact, I think all of the most amazing things I have seen have been in the sky. The full solar eclipse in Lydhurst, South Australia in 2001 was the most breathtaking thing I have ever seen. And in November 2012 I will get to see my 2nd full solar eclipse in Cairns, Australia.
