ABOUT ME

I like travelling, meeting new people and trying new things - especially new food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to meet new people and get to experience new things, as connections enrich experiences. The world is a big place, and I'm never going to be able to see enough of it!

I love reading, crafting and celebrating.
I like going new places, meeting new people and getting new perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raised seahorses, watched them dance and witnessed the male give birth
Watched a cuttlefish change colour
Watched a hummingbird fly
Conquered my fear of heights by climbing 30m outdoors
I'm embarking on my first solo travel

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share stories and experiences.
I love to craft and make things beautiful.
I'm happy to cook some food, though there aren't many "Australian" dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can discuss life in Australia (not everything will kill you!) and Cambodia, share a passion for new food and I am also a good listener and keen to hear new stories, experiences and perspectives.
