CURRENT MISSION

I have most recently been working as a teacher and at a non-profit supporting people seeking asylum in Sydney. I spent 7 years living in France and Switzerland living the musician dream and studying/working as an opera singer. Then I came back to Sydney during covid to change it all up and do a Master's in International Relations (Human Rights) where I found out that I really wanted to work in humanitarian space, particularly in the areas of forced migration / asylum. My last trip was to Latin America and then Greece to do some volunteer teaching in a refugee camp--an amazing experience!

I'm gay and am looking to meet and exchange with open-minded, easy going people.

Currently travelling for a few months around Europe. Into nature things, culture and music things and meeting locals to find out the best recs and fun things to do! Maybe even a game of tennis?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the idea of people exchanging and helping each other out with a place to stay. I think it's also a great way to meet a local and share experiences, and hopefully someday repay the favour!

Interests

Music and having a dance, new beaches, exhibitions, learning about things, portrait photography, Bernini sculptures, accents, talking about books and films.

Interested in languages - my French is pretty fluent and I'm trying to learn more Spanish.
