Hello! My name is Steph I'm from Perth WA love the sun beach and casual vibes but sometimes it just gets a little too much of the same! So I live travelling every now and again, meeting new people, cultures and filling up on amazing life experiences. I study International Development and sustainability and I'm hoping to one day get work overseas that really helps people to help themselves, their communities and environment. In the meantime, I'm just trying to make the most of my very much privileged life by making it as full as it can possibly be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started off just looking for a place to stay but I'm hoping that this will be the start of a life long adventure of meeting interesting individuals and sharing amazing experiences--can't wait to try it out on the rest of my travels!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm I have eaten a tarantula while being deathly scared of spiders.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm I don't think I have any particular skills to share but willing to have in-depth discussions from the complexities of the world and weirdness of social relations, to random conversations like why don't people eat breakfast foods for lunch and dinner--stop the food segregation!!
