CURRENT MISSION

Be a freelance writer so I can travel and work at the same time!

ABOUT ME

I moved to London from Melbourne around four months ago, and I'm working at a web startup here in Covent Garden. I'm using London as a base to see the UK and Europe (I take a trip every month or so).

I'll try anything once. I love making friends and exploring new places, and I have a voracious appetite for learning anything -- cooking, languages, music, science ... I'm probably a little bit *too* enthusiastic.

PHILOSOPHY

Cheerful, optimistic nihilism.

I have a million things to be thankful for -- I'm lucky just to be alive, and to be healthy and happy and have friends who love me.

Life is full of pleasure and joy, and I want to find and feel as much of it as possible before I turn into dust.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed once before, in Texas, and it was brilliant; I can't wait to do it again. It worked out even better than I thought it would.

I've hosted a couple of people in my flat in London.
