I'm a 26 year old student teacher from England. I have been traveling solo for the past year and a half. I started in Australia, and after I was only supposed to be here a month, I extended by stay. So far I have travelled from Perth, up the East Coast, Melbourne, Adelaiade and I've also lived in the outback (6 hours north of Adelaide), working as a governess, for the majority of my time in Australia. I have also travelled around New Zealand over Christmas 2014. I've loved it, but it certainly does make me miss the cities and the beaches!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I've never done this before and I think it adds to part of the adventure! I've found that backpackers, hostels and hotels all try and sell the same thing, but there is no greater advice for a traveller than from a local!

Music, Movies, and Books

That all depends what mood I'm in! Sometimes I love a bit of a Sound of Music session (nothing can quite beat a singalong), but other times I'd prefer to just chill with a comedy or horror (although as I live in the middle of nowhere these days, I tend to stay away from the horrors hah)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to Australia on my own. It's a place I've dreamed of coming to since I was young but I never had the confidence in myself to think I could do it. But I have :)
