About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, meet new people and spread a love of art.

ABOUT ME

I live in Perth, and I have traveled to UK, France, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Vietnam, Thailand and within Australia. I want to open my world a little wider, and I'm hoping that meeting new people will bring in a variety of new experiences and form some interesting memories!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. Tolerance, politeness, and respect. Live the live of your choosing, and no-one else's. Take responsibility for your own decisions, and live by them. Your life is in your hands!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Germany with two lovely hosts who made my stays in Hanau and Duesseldorf very memorable!

Interests

Loves: Books, Art, Food, People, Books, Pets, Family, Books, Films. I am a bit of a nut for reading, I love everything from Christopher Hitchens to Jane Austen and a whole lot in between. I cycle a fair bit, (with the occasional mishap) and I do a bit of fencing too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A double rainbow around the moon. A cold night, I was at work, and I called up my boyfriend at 2am to make him get out of bed and look at this amazing sight.
