Nearly finished PhD Student studying frugal innovation and entrepreneurship. I live in Australia with my partner and 2 kids A, who is 4 and T, who is 19 months. Coming to Europe over the Christmas period.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan to attend a conference in Twente. My PhD scholarship funding ran out a long time ago ( two kids in the PhD process has slowed things down), trying to practice what I preach (resourcefulness).

Interests

Its been so long since I've had ideas around "my"interests. My life is filled with small children, adventures at the beach (sandcastle building), chasing my giggling children down our hallway. swinging in the hammock.. For work... lots of research.
