CURRENT MISSION

*** I’m on a big round the world journey at the moment, trying to discover new skills and nurture all my passions

Make positive contributions to the world. Do no harm. Practice yoga and mindfulness. Smile more. Eat chilli. Chase my tail until I run out of power.

ABOUT ME

I love Chilli!! I am culturally adventurous. I come from a mixed Italian and Sri Lankan background, but I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia.

I crave community, that's why I love couchsurfing!

I constantly get lost but I’m good at asking for help

PHILOSOPHY

Μοναχός σου χόρευε, κι' όσο θέλεις πήδα
Dance by yourself and you can jump as much as you want (Greek proverb)

❤️✌🏽

May all beings be happy...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed around India, Sri Lanka, Europe, South America, Africa, and Turkey,. I loved to share and exchange experiences, cultures, food, laughs through Couchsurfing.
