CURRENT MISSION

Live life!

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty go-with-the-flow and get along with just about everyone. I have a serious love of food, and especially love trying (and trying to make!!) new dishes I've never had before! I really enjoy learning about different cultures, but also love just going for a glass of wine to relax! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Take life as it comes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have surfed in the US and Italy. Am able to host or show people around in who are traveling through Canberra! I've also been to a few couch surfing meetings in Bangkok to try to meet new people in a new place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think it's a fantastic idea! I've had nothing but good experiences. We don't mind when people just want to come and stay, but we also love to cook a good meal for guests when they arrive or take them out to a favourite place!
