Ok so after 3 weeks in New Zealand its time for an update on the profile. Feel free to continue reading after this update if you'd like to.

Life is to short to spend hours reading through profiles. I am me, up for a challenge and as much adventure as I can be involved in. Keen to laugh, learn and share travel stories good and bad. Mostly make lots of friends as we currently travel around New Zealand.

Stayed with my first couch surfing host and it was awesome, hope to do it all around NZ with my friend Frankie. We are an awesome pair that know how to have fun, share great conversations and cook a mean feed.

One of our goals is to complete the 9 great walks.....so if your keen to join us let us know the bigger the group the greater the adventure! You wont regret having this Aussie and American pair stay with you. (don't let our country discourage you lol) We really are awesome people!!

Ok there it is short and sweet.

Old Profile Blurb.

On a Journey of Self Discovery............. I have been a daughter, friend, a partner, lover, mother, co-worker and boss. Now taking a little time out for me to find a new purpose in life.

After an amazing 8yr career in the Childcare Industry in Australia, in which I have run my own Centre and travelled to many places to see and work with all kinds of people. It's time to take a break for the conventional 9-5 lifestyle.

I'm keen to learn new ways of living, about other people cultures and lifestyles. I'm open minded and love discovering new ways to have fun and love life.

I live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy good food and physical activity.

Travelling all around Australia and throughout Asia, now its time to spread my wings and see the rest of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Plan to travel the world, starting with New Zealand for 12 months. I've heard great reviews from friends that have done it and said it was an awesome way to travel and meet great like minded people!

Interests

To discover hidden treasure and photograph them. Learning about as many cultures and people as possible in one lifetime. To have unbelievable adventures, and share those adventures with awesome people. To achieve goal/activities/things that scary me and make my heart race. To taste new food and learn new recipes. To fill my brain with knowledge! To have a can do attitude and to be surrounded by like minded people.

Letting go.......
