CURRENT MISSION

Moving, just keep moving...

ABOUT ME

I'm an Australian girl living in Paris. I've been here for almost 2 years, before that I was in Agen, in the south-west. During the time I've spent in France, I've discovered a new way of life, new friends, and been to many places. Unlike Australia, where you have to take a plane to go anywhere, Europe is much more travel-friendly! My preferred method of transport is train.

I wish I hadn't waited so long to travel, but then I wouldn't have met my travel companion and boyfriend, a Frenchman who I met in Perth.

Later this year we'll be moving back to Perth to take up the easy Australian life once again :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've recommended the site to my friends. I've participated in a few groups and met plenty of people through CS events.

And I will definitely continue travelling. Coming to a couch near you soon...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted our first-ever couchsurfers in June 2010. Since then we've moved into a studio apartment and don't have the room to welcome anyone.

Via CS events I have made new friends.

The Paris CS network is extensive... always plenty of things to do and opportunities to meet new people.
