CURRENT MISSION

After living and working in Brisbane as a producer for a few years, I have quit my job to travel the world and spend some time in Spain, my home country, reconnecting with family and friends. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to spend the next year or two travelling, and I would love to use this time to connect with people and learn new skills.

ABOUT ME

I’ve always loved travelling. When I was 15, I spent a year living in California. After that, Madrid started feeling too small for me. Since then lived in the USA, Scotland, Italy, Portugal, and Australia and visited over 40 countries. I’m passionate about new experiences, discovering places, and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Live a life worth living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m over the idea that we should always be suspicious of strangers and trust as few people as possible. I think progress comes from making real connections, sharing what we know, and taking the chance to both teach and learn from each other.

Also, while on this topic, I'm definitely not down for anything romantic or sexual, so please don't even try.
