CURRENT MISSION

Being open and receptive to life's madness

ABOUT ME

I'm a juicy, delicious 21 year old fruit/student trying to see the world before the Man puts me in a can and sells me at the supermarket...

...I'm surprisingly active for a Peach: I write stories, play music (piano and bass and laptop sometimes), I enjoy silly headwear and riding my bike around the city.

I also study Arts/Law - my main area of interest is English Literature, and I tend to prefer studying the literary/theoretical side of law rather than wanting to actually become a lawyer. I work for a human rights organisation back home in Melbourne and would love to be able to use my studies in that field some time in the (kind of) distant future.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that our differences enrich us. By sharing ourselves we make life a little less difficult and little more enjoyable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed for the first time in New York, had an amazing time! I've also slept on many couches and even some floors outside of CS, it's always so lovely to receive the hospitality of others! My housemates have hosted a couple of surfers before as well, I really enjoyed having a traveller in the living room to chat to in the mornings!
