About Me

🇦🇺 Hi! I’m an Aussie that is trying to get to know my own backyard. I’ve spent the past 2 years in Latin America and figured it’s time to know my own country! I’m spending this time while travelling to learn about interesting cultures, beliefs and places, and to write stories about the places I visit.

🇲🇽 Aventurera australiana con herencia irlandesa y indígena australiana. Estuve explorando América Latina por dos años. Estoy pasando este tiempo mientras viajo para conocer culturas, creencias y lugares interesante y escribir historias de sobre los lugares visito.

LGBT+ friendly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to be a reason that my hosts go and visit somewhere they've not yet had the opportunity or
reason to! I’ve been able to learn sooooo much more below the surface about a country and its citizens through the awesome CS friends I’ve made.

And I love that I get to share so much about Australia so people around the world know more than just kangaroos 🦘🦘

Music, Movies, and Books

🇦🇺 I am obsessed with films and books, and am always down for more recommendations or to give them. Favourite movies atm are Mommy, Triangle of Sadness and anything by Luca Guadagnino. I’ve been reading classics - currently Son of Man by Augusto Roa Bastos (about Paraguay) and King Lear (Shakespeare).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed with Nomadic families on a month long trip across Mongolia 🇲🇳 Went searching for the national birds of Guatemala and Paraguay. 🇬🇹🇵🇾
