About Me

Hi! I'm a theatre actor/director. I'm usually based in Melbourne, Australia but until September I'm in Tallinn, Estonia to work on a new theatre show over there, then after that I'm moving to Berlin for a year. When I'm at home my life is filled with creating theatre, writing, going to gigs, dancing, drawing, and making feasts to share with friends. While I'm travelling I like to soak up much of the same! I love to share a cup of tea or a glass of wine and a laugh but am always keen to get outside and explore - so if I'm surfing with you, I promise I won't be in your hair and if you're staying with me then feel free to join me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to host with my ex-boyfriend for 3 years! Unfortunately since we've split up he's kept our couchsurfing profile so I had to start a brand new profile for this trip... but I loved being a host and meeting excellent new people from all around the world and showing them Melbourne! I loved making meals together, sharing music, heading out to see local bands or just hanging out and making new friends!
