CURRENT MISSION

To keep on smiling!

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy going and like to chat! I love scuba diving, riding my bike, camping and chilling out generally. I'm currently undertaking a PhD in human rights and am a gender and trafficking consultant based on Bangkok, Thailand. My passion is of course travelling and meeting new people, as I'm sure it is for everyone on here, which is perfect for me. I'm more than happy to provide my hospitality to like minded fun people who want to come and visit.

PHILOSOPHY

No matter what you do, have fun. Never take anything for granted. Be happy and smile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well let me tell you! I have hosted in UK and Thailand and surfed in USA, Borneo, Thailand and Indonesia so far. I always announce my arrival to CSers on the forum for wherever I'm traveling to and organise meet ups and outings. The CS scene in Bangkok is probably the most lively anywhere I have been. I have met some of the most amazing people through CS and who will always remain my friends. I look forward to meeting many many more. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and surfed and loved it and often met people on my travels who have offered me the comfort of their home and the generosity of their hearts. I endeavour to do the same and to them I will be forever grateful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteered for the 2008 30th Sydney Mardi Gras! The biggest ever! I was a part and parcel of the Parade and had a ridiculous amount of fun. I couldn't possibly put into words what I saw or did....! ;)

Easter Island...just magical. Scuba diving - everything & everywhere! Holding and bottle feeding a tiger cub (OMG); traveling by boat on the Mekong river from Vietnam to Cambodia; trekking in Chiang Rai, doing a Mahout training course with elephants in Chiang Mai; being chatted up by a Monk in Sukhotai; kayaking, seeing Orangutans, trekking and exploring the Niah caves of Borneo....so much and so much still to do!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've lived and worked abroad and travelled extensively throughout SE Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, USA and most recently to S America. As a woman, I've travelled on my own and with company and am fairly "streetwise". My head's pretty much on my shoulders, when it's not being knocked around falling out of planes or off sand boards!
