Overview
About Me
I study law and Spanish and work part time as a bartender. I started studying when I was 22, before that I worked on a farm in my home town, did a ski season in Canada and used a pub in London as a base for European travels.
I'm vegetarian for health, environmental and animal welfare reasons. I'm studying law because I'm interested in environmental, human rights and animal rights activism. When I graduate I would like to work in a community law firm assisting disadvantaged people.
I love all kinds of music and I'm a keen guitarist and I'm teaching myself piano.
I am new to couch surfing and I would like to try it out as a traveller before becoming a host in Brisbane.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm traveling on a budget and I want to meet open minded people!
