About Me

I am a 4th year undergraduate senior majoring in Advertising and International studies. I moved to the US this year to study at the University of Tennessee to undertake a study abroad exchange program. I have met the most amazing people from all over the world and I am filled with desire to travel and explore and meet new and interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to opportunity to meet people in their home cities and explore with them. Travelling is food for the soul and I believe exploring even your own city will teach you so many new things about yourself. I would love to be able to share that with people and let them share that experience with me.

Interests

Im a musical theatre performer and I am undertaking classical voice training with my teacher. So I can sing opera. I love exploring new and random places off the beaten track. Its always more exciting. I like chilling just as much as I exploring.
I like hiking, the outdoors, swimming and diving.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy house, rnb, hip hop, pop and various other types of music. Music is so special to me as I believe it expresses so much art and emotion. I can listen to almost any type of music and appreciate it. Except metal....hate metal!
Also music festivals are great. Always down for a music festival.

My favourite movies currently are interstellar, the lovely bones and prayers for bobby. They are the ones you can watch, and then talk for hours about philosophical thought.

My favourite books are perks of being a wallflower, the harry potter series and of mice and men.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled the United States during spring break 2015. Me and 5 other eager travellers drove over 4000 miles across 12 states in 10 days. We hiked Zion National Park in Utah and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I witnessed the most amazing landscape and met the most amazing people. It was the adventure of a lifetime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to sing. We can jam out singing to anything or we can listen to show tunes (my personal favourite).

I am a swimmer and diver, so if the warmer months have brought us together then I will be more than happy to show you how to dive. Or we can just chill out by the pool.

Also hiking is awesome and I'm more than happy to go to a few trails near my city.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you the Capital of Australia, Canberra. It is close enough to travel to Sydney and Melbourne (arguably Australia's biggest cities).
Canberra has so much to offer and I can help you uncover all the hidden gems that the city provides if one looks hard enough.
