CURRENT MISSION

I am currently travelling solo in Europe before commencing a PhD in history in the US next September. I'm looking to see a bit of Europe, meet nice people and avoid running up too much of a debt over the next few months.

ABOUT ME

Just completed history masters at sydney university and waiting to begin a PhD at Princeton next year. Recently I worked in a methadone clinic in Sydney for a year after finishing graduate studies.

Previously I have traveled through South America, Asia and the UK. I like a variety of music from classical to heavy metal and enjoy reading and films. I've played a lot of sport in the past, although not as much at the moment.
