Overview
About Me
My main interests are music, reading/audiobooks, bouldering, food, travelling, cultural history and animals. I am especially passionate about anything international-food related! Sharing a hearty meal with good company is one of the truest joys in life.
I've been taking a career break and just finished a few months travelling S. America and am now in Australia doing a working holiday visa. I love meeting people of all different backgrounds and am always interested in learning about other peoples' culture, beliefs and history.
I'm always happy to explore new places, listen to some live music or just have a few drinks and laughs with some good company. I like fixing things and structural building and am always up for helping with a project. 🌞 I have built a mini-cabin before among other things and one day hope to build my own tiny home and homestead
If anyone wants a bouldering or climbing buddy then give me a shout! 🧗♂️
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Love meeting new people, sharing stories and chasing excitement. Have a genuine interest in the history and culture of other countries and meeting people from different backgrounds is always a joy. I would also enjoy langauge exchange with any Spanish speakers.
Interests
Aswell as what I have mentioned above I also really enjoy building and crafting out of scrap/salvaged material, general DIY/upcycling and bike mechanics. I am into spirituality, mindfulness and ritual too so would love to meet others with an interest in such things

Music, Movies, and Books
I am passionate about a variety of music including electronica, folk, alt-rock, psych, hip hop, experimental and ambient. In terms of books some of my favourite authors include Milan Kundera, Kurt Vonnegut, Terry Pratchett and Haruki Murakami but I also enjoy non-fiction about true-crime, history, politics and philosophy. Really enjoy documentaries and foreign cinema.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Seeing Pompeii was the most amazing experience I have had. It is a city frozen in time and is incomparable to anything I have ever seen!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am always happy to cook for people and share my tastes in food, music and books. I am also handy with tools and materials so if anything needs fixing or building I am always happy to help out! I do have a TEFL and am a literature fan. I have been trying to learn Spanish for s while now so if you want to share language then that would be cool.
