Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love talking about couch-surfing with other travellers, and also love to meet other people via couch surfing. I try to make sure that I pay something forward and give something back to all the couchsurfers I meet.

I even joined a netball team full of couchsurfers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed with Annette and Mark in the Blue Mountains, was amazing and so fun. I've couchsurfed across Europe and other places. I hope I can host one day, but whilst I'm a poverty stricken student that still lives at home this isn't possible.
My netball team is 100% couch-surfing :D
Although we tend to lose a lot....

I honestly think that without couchsurfing my faith in humanity would never be restored. Not to sound too cheesy but I've met so many warm kind people through couchsurfing who have opened their lives to me, and shared something of themselves with no expectations in return. Its something that should be paid forward :)

Interests

I'm pretty excited in seeing this great country we call home or Australia, every spare moment I've had in the last 2 years I've spent on exploring Australia via road trips. So far I've only got the West Coast to do.

Doesn't mean I don't want to go overseas. I think experiencing Australia is a completely different experience from backpacking overseas. :)

Having said that I'm back on the overseas bandwagon! Trying to visit as many supermarkets as I can all over the world! Nothing says culture like supermarkets do.

Next trip on my Agenday is South America.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to:
- OkGo!
- Sugary sweet Pop/HipHopbopper stuff ( I like to pretend I am black)
- M. Ward
- Sia
- MIA
- Missy Elliot
- Madeline Peyroux
- Jeff Buckley is my ALL TIME fave, especially his version of Lilac Wine
- And Lastly (secretly) I love sleepy whale noise music

Favorite TV Shows:
Bones! (mmmm Angel) How I met Your Mother, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Cougartown, and yes, to my secret shame Glee....

Favorite Movies:
I love watching anything from Disney! (ok I'm sucker) But also love a good action movie, or a good comedy. I only like chick flicks if they get what's coming. I hate it when everything is forgiven in the end! Don't make me sick! Its all about the vengeance.

Favorite Books:
hmm... I love reading books where people get what they deserve. So Murder or Horror books, or sometimes Romantic Tragedies. But they have to work it to earn it baby!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Its too amazing to talk about.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always listen to what your mother says, just because it's there doesn't mean you have to eat it, just because it's cheap doesn't mean you have to buy it, and just because you don't like it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.
