An Aussie student living it up in Paris. Looking to meet locals around France and Europe during my time here to help me discover the culture or just have a good time
Also keen to meet other travellers or host them in Paris cuz meeting people in a new country is hard!

I'm a fairly multifaceted person. Put a couple drinks in me and see what happens - Will we have a deep existential discussion about life and human civilisation? Will we laugh and dance and have a great time? Play chess? Walk several kilometres for no good reason? The possibilities are endless!

Also, this has been said countless times before, but people continue to miss the memo: CS IS NOT A DATING APP. Please do not message me if you have any ulterior motives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because what's the point in travelling if you're not meeting and connecting with amazing people along the way? I'm always trying to learn more about the world and develop strong connections all over the planet, and thanks to Couchsurfing, I've met dozens of incredible and interesting people from many different backgrounds and walks of life, and it's made my travels (and even my day-to-day life) all the richer and more special.

Interests

I have at least a little interest in most things. I'm intrigued by the size and diversity of the world, and strive to see, do, and learn as many different things as possible during my time here.

Some main interests include language, geography and culture/anthropology, but otherwise I'll enjoy a good chat about anything or whatever cool (or uncool) activities I get a chance to do.

• wildlife
• culture
• festivals
• dancing
• human rights
• music
• hiking
• camping
• geography
• history
• languages
• philosophy
• sociology
• food

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Genre depends on my mood. I appreciate deep/existential themes but also love a good laugh.
Been semi-obsessed with Everything Everywhere All At Once lately

Music: I enjoy most styles to some extent but my tastes currently lean more towards heavier stuff - Rock, metal, etc.

Books: I really need to read more. My recent favourite has been Just Mercy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Cage diving with sharks
-Helping to rebuild farms on Kangaroo Island after the 2020 bushfires
-3 week solo drive around Tasmania
-Moving to Paris for half a year without knowing anyone there

Teach, Learn, Share

I've accumulated a lot of 100% useless information over the years that I'll randomly drop whenever relevant. Feel free to contribute to the collection :)

J'apprécie toujours une opportunité de pratiquer mon français et je peux vous aider de pratiquer votre anglais aussi

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a fun enough person to be around I suppose. But I can also try (that's the key word) to make an Australian dish for you if I can find the ingredients!
