About Me

29yo high school art/design teacher living in Adelaide, Australia. I spent the last two years on a working holiday nannying in a ski town in BC, Canada. I love to travel, cook, hike, snowboard, camp, salsa dance and share good food, wine and coffee!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since moving from Australia to Canada and meeting so many new and likeminded travellers and hosting a couch surfer through an old room mate I am really interested in meeting more likeminded people! I also like the idea of staying with locals and learning first hand about different places and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Any Indie and Folk playlists on Spotify!

Books - both fiction and non fiction, since moving to Canada I have been picking up a lot of books at thrift stores and I am trying to work my way through them! Some good ones that I have read recently include Man's Search for Meaning, Night, Columbiano, One Day Closer, Ingrid Betancourt Even Silence Has an End, The Freedom Writers Diary, The Rosie Project, The Diary of Anne Frank.

Movies - I don't watch a lot of movies, I enjoy watching documentaries and TV series about travel and different cultures such as The Kindness Diaries, Dark Tourist, Tales by Light.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
