Globe-trotting student from Melbourne (Australia), keen on meeting and mingling with locals. In exchange I can show you how great I am at sculling a beer (6 seconds) and teach you all the Aussie slang you can take.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best way to meet locals form all over the world in a wholesome way that doesn't rely on monetary obligations.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - A mix of everything, some favourites include Johnny Cash, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Converge, Iceage, Björk, The Smiths, The Clash, Townes Von Zandt, Joy Division, A Tribe Called Quest. I'm very open-minded though so please feel free to show me anything you're into!

Movies - Mostly European art house, but I like my share of science-fiction too. Independent cinema is always more interesting than Hollywood blockbusters though >:~)

Books - A lover of Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Truman Capote, Adrienne Rich, T.S. Elliot, Dennis Lehane. I'm especially interested in progressive literature that breaks rules and conventions and lack rigid structures. I am quite the book worm and love more than anything to be given recommendations so if you've read anything interesting, I want to hear about it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Aussie slang and tales of roo-ridin'.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, England, Sweden, Switzerland
