About Me

I am a optimist, an opportunity seeker, an experience driven individual, with a passion for people and the ocean. Spontaneous outings to find new things, people and places excite me, while relaxing couch evenings with stories, red wine and good music tops off a great day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never hosted a fellow Couchsurfer, or stayed with one. But have recently discovered how CS has the ability to connect you with anyone, anywhere in the world. I love how the world is becoming more and more centred around community and sharing stories.

Interests

What would my perfect day be? Imagine meeting new people in the ocean, on boards, paddling, bathing or on the beach. Helping each other out on their latest adventure, and then all joining for a warm cappuccino or soup, and sharing stories.

There is something powerful when people come together and share their stories. Their experiences, their joyful moments, their heartbreak one's, their languages, their wine, their recipes. It builds a sense of belonging, a sense of community, and I genuinely think that is the key to good times, great moments and a happy life.

As mentioned, I enjoy music, books, picnics, exploring, meeting new people, seeing new places, and trying new things. I genuinely just want to live this life, fully. I love being, eating and living healthy, it gives my body energy and life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a listener, adventurer and go-getter. I enjoy Stand Up Paddling, and can teach this. I have also done my TEFL, and would love to help people with their English.
I enjoy talking about life, and how we can untangle ourselves from tension and live happy lives. I have a holistic view on life and love sharing this.
I love dancing, and would love to learn how to salsa, chacha and tango.
I would love to improve my Italian - please help!
