About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to immerse myself in every culture that I can. Try different foods, learn to salsa and tango, speak spanish and be inspired by the amazing diversity that exists in the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm hooked on travel. The more I explore, the more places and experiences I tick off the more are added to my list.

I love to dance and drink and sing. I love running and hiking, rafting and kayaking and anything where I'm in the ocean.

I'm learning to snowboard at the moment and its incredible, not sure how I made it 22 years before every giving it a go.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem. It's a cliche for a reason

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm about to embark on a trip through North, Central and South America and hoping to try Couch surfing for the first time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Without question by best travel memories all involve the people I've met on the road, and being able to see a new city through the eyes of a local is just incredible. I'd love to be able to give back in whatever way I can, by being a hospitable guest, cooking up a storm or running odd errands.. and ideally by sharing a drink and story or two

Music, Movies, and Books

my music tastes are incredibly eclectic and very depending on where I am and what I'm doing.

You can't beat sitting in a bar on the beach listening to reggae music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- hiking to the top of a volcano in Indonesia and getting caught in Monsoon floods sliding back down
- my favourite destination so far has been Gili Trawangan in Indonesia but I'm hoping this next trip will give gili T some firece competition!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more Spanish, and how to Salsa and Tango! I'm a keen learner though so I would love to learn whatever you can teach me!

I have experience in Business and Marketing, as well as website design so if you want help I'm more than happy to see what advice I can provide. I'm a half decent cook, and a bit of an exercise junkie.
