Overview
About Me
Aussie gal backpacking the world trip since November 🇦🇺🦘People lover, language nerd (speak 5, learning 3 more), always chasing good convos, beach days & live music. A bit chaotic, always kind. Let’s share stories, laughs & spontaneous adventures ✨
I’m a massive people person, the kind of human who thrives on deep conversations, spontaneous laughs, and genuine connections. I’m warm, curious, sometimes a little chaotic (in the best way), and always open to the unexpected. My favorite moments traveling are rarely about places — they’re about the people I meet and the stories we swap.
Over the past 11 months, I’ve explored South America (6 months!), Europe, Mexico, and Canada. Currently back in Europe, hiking in the Dolomites and Switzerland :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet real people, not just pass through places. I want to connect, share meals, swap life stories, and see the world through your eyes. I believe the best travel memories are the ones you can’t plan.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music is my life. If it’s live, I’m there — from buskers on a street corner to jazz clubs, techno nights in underground clubs to camping festivals in the forest. My playlists bounce from indie to reggaeton, rap & hip hop, classics, pop, house, and techno… and I’ll happily dance to all of it.
Movies — for something deep and moving: Dead Poets Society (still makes me want to stand on a desk and shout “O Captain, my Captain”).
For feel-good romance: Love Actually — cheesy, yes, but it gets me every Christmas.
Books. ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ is the most recent book I read that moved me, it is a deeply moving story set against the backdrop of Afghanistan’s turbulent history and rich culture. Currently I am reading Sapiens for a big-picture look at humanity, and IT for some thrilling chills.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Waking up in the middle of the night to hike in the dark by myself in Patagonia, Argentina all to catch the sunrise over the mountain peaks of Fitz Roy. Standing at the summit as the warm orange glow slowly lit the mountains brought tears to my eyes — a moment of pure awe and gratitude I’ll never forget.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love practicing languages together, whether that’s helping you with English or learning some Portuguese and Spanish from you.
But it’s not just about words; it’s about dancing, sharing stories from the road, and swapping life experiences that shape who we are. These moments of genuine exchange are what make travel meaningful and friendships unforgettable.
Let’s create memories, learn from each other, and share a little piece of our worlds.
