I'm Jo. I'm new here.
I'm an Australian girl. I plan to travel indefinitely and never let myself become shackled to an office desk again!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to interact with people!
I want to be told where to find the cheap eats, the grimy bars, the DIY music scenes, the secret parks/outdoor spots - information that only a true local can provide.
I also want to live/travel frugally, obviously.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I predominately listen to Alt Country and Punk music.

I watch more television than movies (we're living in a golden age of television!) favorite shows include; Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead.

Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a favorite song, authors I like include Kurt Vonnegut, Truman Capote, Terry Pratchett, Charles Bukowski, Hunter S Thompson and Brett Easton Ellis.

I like Graphic Novels, mostly Batman ones, particularly "The Long Halloween" by Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my life and started a new one on the other side of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English or how to use design software. I'm trying to learn French. I like to share my sandwiches.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, clean, move furniture around, make a damn fine cocktail.
Happy to help people who speak English as a second language to hone their skills.
