I'm a 25 year old Australian living in Strasbourg, France. I'm currently working as an English teacher in a French high school but I plan to return to Australia eventually to work as a lawyer.

I'm easy-going and extremely open-minded. It's very hard to shock me! I love hanging out with people of all backgrounds, sexual preferences and cultures. I'm adventurous and always looking forward to the next discovery.

I'm independent, clean and trustworthy :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the years I've had many backpackers stay on my couch (friends of friends, strangers, old friends) and it's been a pleasure to get to know them and share their stories.

I believe the best way to see a city is with a local because it's a more authentic experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music and I'm not a snob! I've played the cello for 20 years so I love classical music and going to concerts but I also enjoy music festivals and more modern stuff, especially Australian music. Most recently I've seen London Grammar, Chet Faker, The National and Solange in concert.

Favourite movies: Strictly Ballroom, Casablanca, A Clockwork Orange

TV: Game of Thrones, House of Cards, The Fall, Les Revenants, The Bridge

Books: Angela's Ashes, Infinite Jest, The Goldfinch
