Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Active surfer, coffee catcher-uperer and soon to be host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fairly new to CS only having surfed a handful of times in London, but I dare say I'll be surfing and hosting for years to come

Interests

Sightseeing, meeting new people, socializing, volleyball, love trying new things, water aerobics, music, writing, cooking, pubs, learning about cultures, languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm digging Benny Lewis and his language books but i often enjoy reading poetry or delving into romance novels.
I'm really easy with music, I generally enjoy what's on the radio. I do prefer live bands to clubs but both scenes are good. Bands like Coldplay, the 1975, the killers and Snowpatrol are always regulars on my iPod.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked Vietnam with my best friend in march 2013 and so far nothing has topped this experience. From a homestay to trekking in Sapa, an easy rider bike tour along the south to sleeping on a junk in Halong bay, Vietnam has been a highlight for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

The most valuable thing I can share with you is my travel experiences, having lived and travelled all over Australia with my family, backpacked through Cambodia and Vietnam, cruised to New Caledonia, lived in New Zealand and now backpacking across Europe. Beyond this I love to cook, can lend an ear and pretend my psych degree is working or even practise my mad tin whistle skills with you!
