I'm an environmental science student who wants to do what I love now - I may not have the same opportunities later. I plan on travelling around Australia. I haven't yet decided if I will do it in a van or by bicycle. For now, short road trips sustain me when my work and university schedules allow it.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am on Couchsurfing because I'd love to connect with like-minded travelers. I believe that sharing is caring and that sleeping on a couch eases pressure on the housing industry.
Music, Movies, and Books
I can't choose favourites so here is a selection of things: Music: - The Naked And Famous - Fat Freddy's Drop - alt-J - Matt Corby - Japanese Wallpaper - Mumford and Sons - The Paper Kites - Vancouver Sleep Clinic - Seafret - June (Brisbane) Movies: Treasure Planet and Holes were childhood favourites. Lilo and Stitch is still a favourite. I enjoyed The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and love Into The Wild. Books: My recent book binge was Clive Cussler. Now, I mostly read environmental reports - how exciting!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I worked on a research project in Costa Rica trying to figure out why the now critically-endangered Leatherback turtles experienced a sudden and severe decline in population. I lived with a local family in an undeveloped village.
Teach, Learn, Share
Education is how people grow. I am willing to share my knowledge and learn what other people have discovered on their journey through life.
My Interests
I love the outdoors, am currently studying environmental science, and play a bit of percussion (although, it has been a year since I last got into it). I am fascinated by art and enjoy living within my means.
