Hi, I'm Charli!
I'm from the UK, half English and half Scottish, but I have spent most of my life in Australia.
I'm an Environmental Science student, majoring in Marine Biology, and am looking at pursuing further education in International Relations.
I'd like to learn a second language, but I can't decide whether I want to go down the Asian language stream, or the European one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get off the beaten path and meet new people!
I'd like to experience new cultures, not just observe them.
Worse still, I'd hate to go overseas and spend the whole time tanning by the pool. I can do that at home.

Interests

Anything to do with the ocean - snorkeling, scuba diving, free diving
Photography, writing, dancing, exploring, cultures, languages and learning.
I will quite literally try anything once.
