About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World Traveler

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, although my genes are 100% British, so I burn easily in the sun, which detracts somewhat from my Aussieness. I live outside of the city center in Perth and I am known to be somewhat of a 'Hill Billy', a name I wear proudly. Living in an isolated city like Perth, gave me the itch to go out and explore and I have been traveling since I was seventeen. I enjoy meeting new people and visiting exciting new places. I am outgoing and I do not shy away from new adventures, I also love doing things that give me an adrenalin rush. I can't wait to jump into the couch surfing experience...between working of course!

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't succeed the first time round, then sky diving is not for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host people, however my living situation at the moment does not allow me to do so, you are of course welcome to come round for a drink! When I get back home I will be willing to host, but for now, I am looking forward to couch surfing or meeting you over a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been around France & Belgium, each experience has been so much fun & has enriched my traveling experiences.

Interests

MY FRIENDS: My friends are my family and I love them!

LANGUAGES: Despite only knowing English and French, I would love to expand my language horizon on the way to fulfilling my dream of been an interpreter.

HAVING A GOOD TIME: I do love to Party! (Although having a good time for me also includes having a strong cup of tea and reading a good book!)

TRAVELLING: I love, love, love to travel, I have been to over 24 different countries, and I have learned something new from everyone of them, next places on my list are India, Africa and back to South America.

HAVING FUN IN THE SUN (with a hat and sunscreen of course!): I love been outdoors and I relish every moment I get to laze on the beach or on the grass.

BEEN GREEN: Perth is a car dependant city, and I find it hard getting from A to B without a car, so here in France, without a car and great public transport, I am enjoying not polluting the atmosphere with my exhaust fumes. I hate to see the tap or lights left on unnecessarily and do not like to see people not recycling or taking an interest in our planet's future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Peru I saw a 101 year man working in his garden and moving around like he was 30-40 years younger, his secret, he never drinks alcohol!
