About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be inspired

ABOUT ME

In no particular order; Sicilian girl at heart born in Australia. I am prone to get loud when I'm excited about things so don't be afraid to tell me to use my 'inside voice'. Food makes me stupidly happy. I get lost all the time which can make for some interesting unscheduled discoveries in my travels. (And potentially late arrivals; advanced warning for future hosts!) i love to dance to 80 & 90's pop music. I am stupid before having coffee in the morning and cannot be held responsible for anything that comes out of my mouth post cup. I believe music makes the world a better place!I should probably learn a little more patience, I pretty much want everything yesterday. yoga is wonderful and I enjoy a good discussion into the wee hours discussing how the hell we came into existence. Try to get out in nature hiking as much as I can, I love meeting perfect strangers and finding out their stories, and so here I am!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Discovered CS backpacking through Europe last years, all i can say is i now have true friends for life across the world :)

I truly believe that travelling is less to do with the countries you see and more to do with the experiences you create with the people you meet along the way. Have loved every moment I have shared with locals and fellow travellers through CS, these are the memories I will take from my travels. Such experiences have allowed me to regain my trust and faith in human kindness, compassion and genuine friendship. Love to share my culture and experiences with others and hear their stories!
