About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the World. Meet People. Experience as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

Hello. I am an easy-going Australian and lived in the UK on a working visa, as so many Australians do. I had such a good time seeing the UK and Europe and meeting awesome people.

I am very grateful for the couches I surfed At the moment, I'm back in Australia and want to give back to the community, so now I am sharing my couch.

I'm looking to meet some friendly and interesting people and see some cool places.

PHILOSOPHY

Truth, freedom and expression.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed, now sharing my own couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had two awesome experiences surfing couches in Berlin and Paris. They were great hosts and I felt very welcome. Love the CS community.

Interests

I have been in a band, played football (soccer) for 11 years, practised yoga for 10 years, trained and taught Kung Fu for 15 years and I have just started taking improvisation classes. And I love skiing.

I am also interested in learning to dance and to cook. I also love going to the theatre, watching live performances, be it a play, dance, music, comedy.

Part of my reason for travelling is to experience new things and meet new and interesting people. So, I am open to anything and I love to learn and create.
