About Me

ABOUT ME

I am currently in Cambodia, and have been traveling all around South East Asia for 3 months. So far I have been to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. I'd describe myself as a positive, outgoing person, who is always looking to leave my comfort zone and experience something new!
I did a Working Holiday in Australia last year and will be returning to Melbourne this November for a while, I'm so excited!

Before traveling, I worked as a French high school teacher in England for a year, then quit my job and decided to go traveling. I haven't looked back since! I love meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, having those 'what just happened?!' moments and just enjoying life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used Couchsurfing to meet up with people when I was 21 and on my year abroad in France. It really put me out of my comfort zone but I had a great time meeting locals and practising my French language skills. I've decided to use it again as I will be returning to Australia and would really love to meet some new people and have a great time!

Interests

I enjoy hanging out with friends such as going to the cinema, going shopping, and going out for a couple of drinks some evenings. I love long walks on the beach, watching sunsets, sunrises (when I can be bothered) and days out exploring. I love traveling and I hope to meet some new interesting people in Melbourne.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music. I'm always open to going to gigs and listening to new bands, I especially loved doing this in the wonderful Melbourne. I love reggae, house & techno music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting my job and setting off traveling! 15 months later... And still loving it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will attempt to make some of the Asian delicacies I have been eating and learning to cook during my travels, such as Phô Bo and Pad Thai! I'm not a professional, but I like to cook :)
I will also love to participate in culture and language exchange.
I'd love to hang out with you, go for coffee, have a couple of vinos on an evening.
I'm happy to help out around the house as a thank you for you hosting me. I'm also good at organising things if you need some help there.
