A down to earth, adventurous and fun chick from Melbourne, Australia, who is passionate about all things Psychology and travelling. My biggest interest in life is meeting and learning about different people, cultures, habits and general ways of living life. I am always looking to challenge my views of the world by trying, learning and listening to different things, views and opinions. I am really fortunate to have a lot of travel experience despite being so young. I have travelled to Europe (France, Italy, England), Brazil, South East Asia and Japan, much of which consisted of cultural exchanges within host families.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most likely for the same reason as you! I am currently travelling around France, Italy and Spain with my partner and since we have already travelled in a more hostel style, this time around we are looking to connect more with the local people who can show us around, share knowledge about their culture and teach us the language. We get really bored just getting drunk and doing pub crawls night after night! We are seeking more authentic experiences involving good food, wine, laughs and adventure.
