About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See amazing museums and art galleries in Europe

ABOUT ME

I have just finished studying a masters degree in Art Curatorship and Museum Studies in Melbourne and love visiting interesting little museums and art galleries.

I have lived in Sweden for a couple of years, and love coming back to Europe to visit old friends and escape the long Melbourne winter.

I am open minded and fairly outgoing, quite spontaneous and don't like sitting still for too long.

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is very important to me! I love everything that comes with it....new food....new languages and new friendships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I unfortunately do not have a couch to offer in Australia at the moment, but hope to in the near future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing....have had a couple of experiences while traveling with other people, but have finally decided to get my own account and become more involved.

Interests

I enjoy spending time in museums and art galleries, seeing live music and films, sewing clothes, and eating delicious food. I love flea markets and antique shops and really enjoy seeing where people live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the northern lights in Lapland from a dog sled was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced.

Finally seeing Explosions in the Sky play live in Melbourne in a natural ampitheatre in the wilderness on a summers afternoon was the best live show imaginable.

Seeing the amazing animal dioramas at the American Natural History Museum in New York and the Biologiska Museet in Stockholm....I wish these types of displays still existed in Australia!
