About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take the next year off work, see the world and meet amazing people

ABOUT ME

Extrovert, dreamer, traveler, lover of life. Carny, social worker, activist, dancer, event coordinator.

I'm lots of things, but I'm currently an Australian project manager and social worker and wannabe circus performer and dancer who's about to take a year off work to see the world

I love meeting new people and learning about their lives, as well as experiencing and learning about different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest, make the most of every moment, treat people how you'd like to be treated and be the change you want to see in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Newbie to couchsurfing, but keen to host when I'm back in Brisbane.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been fortunate enough to stay with amazing people all over the world through informal couch surfing experiences in my life, where the hosts have welcomed me into their homes and generously shared their lives with me.

A favourite experience, was staying with a family in the Philippines and spending the days learning how to make Philippino meals and working in the family farm and the nights sharing stories and drinks.
