hey everyone! i'm linna and i'm from sydney, australia. very fresh to couchsurfing :)

interested in exploring new cultures, meeting new people and learning languages! i like going off the beaten track to discover local gems - especially the outdoors and food.

hoping to meet like-minded people who share a passion in learning more about themselves and the world around them! also an avid rock climber, currently recurring from injuries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

my mates kept talking about how great it is, so i thought i should check it out myself!

Music, Movies, and Books

what i listen to depends on my mood, it could range from aus indie to alt rock to psytrance to techno.

have a bad habit of starting many books and struggling to finish them, the goal is to read 10 books this year! i enjoy reading philosophy, thrillers, history, spirituality, and any good page-turner.

i'm quite uncultured with movies but i love some psychological horror.

always looking for new recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

currently my friends and i are riding a rickshaw from leh to jaisalmer, india. we want to explore the real india outside of tourist attractions and meet locals that we can share stories with.

i'm going through a quarter life crisis, quit my job and moved to china to reconnect with my roots and learn chinese!

one really hard thing i've done was a 10 day meditation retreat, in my beautiful backyard, the blue mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

i'm currently learning chinese and love learning about the culture, history and language of the places i travel to. i love eating, but still trying to learn how to cook.

i also like maps, numbers, crosswords, trivia and spontaneity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

digital photos, deep chats, language learning, travel stories.

one day when i go back home, i would love to host others. i believe it's a great way to connect with people around the world.
