Hi!
My name is Jess, I'm from around Sydney, Australia and I'm currently in the US travelling! I am currently on exchange and will be living in Boulder, CO for the next 6 months. I love all sorts of outdoor adventure including hiking, camping, running, surfing, climbing and just recently skiing too! I'm curious, open-minded and thoroughly enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I'm very respectful and considerate of other people and their circumstances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm motivated by engaging with and learning about the world around me and I think that couchsurfing is the perfect opportunity to do that. I hope to really experience a place when I visit, and there's no better way to do that than to meet locals and other fellow travellers!

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie-folk rock, bluegrass, alternative dance

Just finished reading The God of Small Things (beautifully written!)
Currently reading a combination of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, How Not To Die, and Good to Great

Decent movies - there are too many out there to have favourites, and also too many out there to watch something subpar. I enjoy learning more through documentaries, and have particularly enjoyed Food Matters, Cowspiracy, Schooling the World and Blackfish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All about Australian culture! A good sense of humour, an adventure or two, decent conversation, some delicious recipes, a home to stay down under, a friendship and hopefully a good time!
