My name is Sophie and I'm from Sydney, Australia. I moved to Germany in January 2014 and I am trying my best to make the move permanent!

I like reading, listening to music and watching movies. I love cooking and baking, although more often than not my attempts are hugely unsuccessful. I studied history at university so I am always seeking out museums and galleries to visit whenever I visit a new city. I also enjoy bike riding, but I am not as good at it as I was when I was ten.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and explore new cities. Hopefully I will be able to make new friends along with new memories.

Interests

Museums and art galleries are always the first place I visit when in a new city. But I also enjoy sitting in a small pub having a few drinks with friends - old or new!
I love doing walking tours of new cities!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all music except for anything too heavy! My favourite artists are generally very mellow; Bon Iver, Damien Rice, Coldplay.

I love going to the movies but I don't go as often as I used to in Sydney. The only films I don't watch are sci-fi! I never understand all the maths and science involved in the plot!

I love to read and will give anything a go except Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving a secure (but dull) job in Sydney for new adventures and experiences in Germany. So far, so good!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you anything you want to know about Australia! The recipe for pavlova is simple but delicious!
