About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Relax and be happy

ABOUT ME

I'm a chilled out cat from an island somewhere near Australia... I have been told its called New Zealand and I have no reason to doubt this. I love the world, learning about it, meeting new people and having a kick ass time.

I've spent the last few years travelling and studying around the world and I have genuinely been loving every moment of it. I have been studying in Denmark, Sweden and China and also spent time working in Albania and Pakistan. I enjoy taking the road less travelled, even if it means sleeping in parks sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody and everything is cool

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have often lived with flatmates who host couch surfers and I have always enjoyed it. I love meeting new people and hearing crazy stories from around the world! I love having couch surfers when they come to stay. Often my flatmates organize it but now that I am out travelling again I would love being a guest and making you an awesome meal!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories of travel, life and love. Be careful not to ask too many questions about history otherwise I will magically transform into a professor and give you a lecture... kinda like a werewolf but without whole being a monstrous wolf thing.

I always want to learn about anything and everything that makes people passionate.
