About Me

Hi there

I'm quite a sociable person, who enjoys meeting new people, having new experiences, and exploring different places and their cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I moved in with my girlfriend in London, 2015. Having done a lot of budget travelling myself, she was surprised and excited to introduce me to CouchSurfing. We have been hosting on and off since January 2016 (off of her profile).

I am now a student and therefore committed to be in London for a while longer. I have thoroughly enjoyed my CouchSurfing experiences hosting, as the cultural exchange makes me feel as though I am travelling myself! :)
I love to travel and experience different cultures, cuisines and places

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite music: Hard to say. Every moment has its own track and genre. Consistently, I find myself listening to indie/chill, folk, blues and jazz

Favourite movie: The Good Lie. I enjoy emotive, thought provoking movies with meaning. In saying that, I can watch over-and-over visually stunning movies such as Avatar :)

Favourite book: I like travel novels and can't go past Shantaram. At the time when I read it I could relate a lot, as an Australian living in India.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to India by myself in 2014. I met so many great people and experienced a totally different culture. Here I made life-long friendships and learnt not to sweat the small stuff. Met my girlfriend in India in 2015 and in September of that year, I moved from Australia to London, UK signing for our first room together :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I learnt to play the guitar once-upon-a-time... and would be able to teach basic chords.

Learn: I would love to learn about other cultures from people with all different walks of life.

Share: I love sharing stories, experiences and laughs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share cooking. Although, as Australia has no definitive cuisine I like cooking foods from other countries and trying new things :P Either through experimenting or following a recipe.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, Colombia, Croatia, England, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, New Zealand, Qatar, Singapore

Countries I’ve Lived In
