let me introduce myself

My name is Jasmine but everyone calls me Jaz! And, I am from a tropical town, Cairns, which tends to be quite famous nowadays. However, over the last 18 years I managed to call a few different cities home such as Melbourne, London, Dundee (Scotland), Barcelona, Playa Del Carmen (Mexico), Lismore, Darwin, Perth and now Adelaide.

Most recently, I fulfilled one of my many dreams by buying a van, turning it into a home and venturing from Cairns through the Top End and down Western Australia. In June 2019 I arrived in Adelaide and decided to base myself here.

As for me I am a bit of a traveller, always getting-out-of-my-comfort-zone kind of girl. I am quite happy and at home in the bush, the ocean or climbing boulders as I am in an elegant winery or sipping on a good negroni somewhere nice.

I guess I am a photographer, a painter, a teacher, a traveller, wannabe diver, an older sister, a friend - I am passionate and love to laugh, talk, listen, learn, experience, all those good things!
I have a few references that should give you a bit of an idea

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Where would I start ... it has been one GREAT experience after another! I started doing this in 2009! It made my travel extraordinarily and positively memorable. I wouldn't want to travel any other way!

I have couched surfed in parts of Europe and hosted in Barcelona as well in my hometown Cairns.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing ... well that would be witnessing a total solar eclipse

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok, so I have a Bachelor degree in Creative Arts in the areas of photography, film and fine arts. I also done some certificates in education (primary and ESL), alternative therapies, martial arts, and now I am learning about getting underwater.
So, I can share these things that I know about. As for what I want to learn well that would be anything underwater. And, I especially love being introduced to music I have never heard of before, or styles foreign to me. Couchsurfing often gives people the opportunity to teach, learn and share - it is so fantastic for that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you or have a drink with you - help you with things - hang out or just give you a smile and massive thank you! I am adaptable, easy going and appreciative with whatever situation and exchange we can arrange.
