About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See and learn about as many people, places, and things, before I run out of money and have to go home.

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurous person that wants to experience the world and the people in it. I love to meet new people so this seems to be the greatest thing EVER! I enjoy being outdoors/indoors/anydoors you name it as long as a good time is involved. I'm good with people from young-ens to oldies since no one can get me to shut up I can talk to just about anyone. I have no idea what I want as a career so in the process of traveling I would like to see what everyone else does and maybe something will pique my interest! I'm loud and like to speak my mind so either listen to what I'm saying or just smile and nod and pretend to listen to what I'm saying, either way I'm happy.

PHILOSOPHY

If it's not Baroque don't fix it - Cogsworth
Live in the moment and have the best time possible because you won't always have time for it. I've come to learn to appreciate the small things and that my parents were actually right a lot of the time growing up even if I didn't admit it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am surfing Australia as of now but when I get home CS's will be welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I thought I would have been surfing a lot more, but my plans have changed so many times it would make your head spin. I did get to couch surf in Darwin which was a blast thanx Amanda! I also got to surf with a long time friend in Rockhampton so that has been great! Both places have been great.

Interests

I love to get outside and hike, swim, camp, fish, you name it I probably like it. I love sports of all kinds and like to be active. I also love food and like to cook so if you are hungry you are in for a treat...well I like my cooking anyway and if you don't bad luck you better eat it anyway because if you don't eat your veggies there won't be any dessert! ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love love love books, I am a book worm to the core. There are not many books I wouldn't read and I always have a book on the go. I think my favourites are fantasy but mystery now and then is great.
I also am a huge music fan be it Beethoven or Beyonce, it's fantastic to crank up the tunes and dance like an idiot. But don't ask me who sings it or what the title is because most likely I don't have a clue even if I know some of the lyrics.
Movies, don't even get me started Disney all the way I think my favourite line is from Despicable me, "Ugh I hate that guy!" But True Blood has taken over my life it was so addicting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have flew half way around the world and not slept for 48 hrs and I have been a nanny for 6 months and survived it. I kayaked in 0.5m swells for 4 hours, lets just say ouch! I think that about sums it up.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well since my life experiences are fairly limited I think I will do the learning more than the teaching. However if you want to know how to change a dirty nappy in about 10 seconds flat I can teach you that one (one of the perks to being a nanny, if you can call it a perk). I would like to share my love of new things though, I really enjoy seeing and doing new things I'm the type of person that needs change to flourish.
