Overview
About Me
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science (Zoology major) at the University of Tasmania; I love studying.
I hope that, after my degree, I will become a research scientist and achieve some great things - doing my bit for the world. I am obsessed with all things outdoors; cycling, running, bushwalking, swimming and kayaking are some of my hobbies/passions. I am very positive person and I believe life is not something to fuss about; I try to make the most the opportunities that come my way.
**I have decided to take a semester off from study and travel for a few months with my girlfriend (1st August to 7th November).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm using Couch surfing as a way to hopefully meet some great people in places I've never been before. Local knowledge is very helpful! It is also such a wonderful tool for someone like me who's plans change frequently and it makes spontaneous adventures easier to organise.
Interests
I love everything! I am a very active, outdoor loving person. I enjoy cycling, running, bushwalking, swimming anywhere, kayaking, fishing, playing guitar, having conversations with people, sharing stories, and various other activities. I also enjoy trying new things.
I am also very fond of a quiet evening indoors with good food and a good movie.
