About Me

CURRENT MISSION

working in the UK and doing lots of trips out as soon as the bank account says "GO:"

ABOUT ME

I am half a bush kid and half a city slicker, if you call Darwin a city! I have travelled my whole life which is a bug which has been handed down from the grandparents (who are still travelling, one in a combi) the gene runs strong in this family. I live in Darwin when im in australia, i often change my occupation to keep life interesting and always learning new trades. my occupation at the moment is in aged care but i will work with young indigenous students when i head home to oz.
I meet people really easily so i guess therefor i must be easy to get along with lol. im not very good at talking about myself and this is all sounding very monotone in my head as it stares back at me from the screen! i am an honest person, an easy going person who isnt afraid of getting my hands dirty, love meeting new people, love animals, love adventure and take everyday and every situation as it comes. i think only death is permanent so dont stress the small things and trust in life!

PHILOSOPHY

only death is permanent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Teach, Learn, Share

i have a personal insight to aboriginal heritage and culture (from the top end) as my stepfather is aboriginal and we sell he and his families art. im sure i teach alot but probably in the way of the aboriginal people. teaching and learning from interaction, where you didnt even realise you were getting the lesson.
