CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what my current mission is. Really.

ABOUT ME

Love having a good time, meeting new people from around the world, practicing languages, and exploring new cities and countries, but also having quiet nights, peaceful getaways and discovering new places.

At the moment, I am on exchange at university in Lyon, so I am unable to host at the moment!

PHILOSOPHY

Everything has been figured out, except how to live- Sartre.
C'est en faisant n'importe quoi qu'on devient n'importe qui- Remi Gaillard. (it's by doing anything that you become anyone)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in France, Germany, Czech Republic and Sweden, and am hosting, here in Melbourne!

Brand new pretty much- have surfed in Paris, Munich, Prague and Scania (Sweden) and attended meetings, but hopefully one day I will of course host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being invited into a private traditional Australian Aboriginal landmark, explored the ruins of a medieval castle in Germany, seeing the original Lady and the Unicorn in Paris, having a private moment of peace in a totally isolated and uninhabitated Balinese island, seeing a Hawaiian beach sunset, getting a train from Los Angeles to San Francisco alongside the sea, visting the Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia and riding a gondola on the Mekong River.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you cultural experiences and languages in the hope that you will share some too, so that we are both enlightened. I have a pretty good knowledge about cultural practices and differences in the world, and what I don't know, I love to find out. And of course, we can talk about Australia and Australians and how bizarre we really are.
