About Me

I'm 22 years old, from Adelaide, South Australia. I was a student for a while at the University of Adelaide and University of Oslo studying Philosophy and Political Science. I got sick of university so I quit and got a job to make some money so I could go travelling, which I did. That was almost a year ago, and I've come most of the way across the world from Australia through Asia and now to Europe.
I'm currently on a cycle tour across Europe from Athens to Amsterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest I'm still a little bit unsure about couchsurfing. Like I said I've been travelling for almost a year and am only now trying it out properly, because I sometimes feel a bit shy and unsure about meeting new people, and I'm not that good at small talk. But I'm feeling more confident now and I want to really give couchsurfing a go as a way to meet kind and interesting people across the world :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite bands/ artists include Radiohead, Tame Impala and Moby.
I like almost all Tarentino films, I really enjoyed Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting with Robin Williams, and I also particularly appreciate Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain.
The book that's most influenced my life is probably Charles Eisenstein's The Ascent of Humanity. I love reading Alan Watts, and as for fiction the books that stands out most for me are The Great Gatsby, The Remains of the Day and Shantaram.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've now (almost) ridden my bicycle from Athens to Amsterdam! Just don't ask me why I would do such a thing, because I still don't know

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure exactly what I can teach- I don't really consider myself an expert on anything. But who knows, maybe we can learn something together if we help each other!
I like learning about traditional ways of living across the world-their architecture, systems of agriculture, food and drink, and their culture and mythology.
I'm also finally learning to cook so if you want to make something with me I would be very happy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about different places in the world and how people live there if you're interested.
