Hi, I'm Anna! Originally from Western Australia, I've been traveling and living around the world for over a decade now and have been incredibly lucky to have met so many wonderful people and to have had so many adventures.

I'm a people person - love spending time with folks and meeting new people! I enjoy deeply connecting with people and love nothing more than sitting on the floor/ground in the sun with a beverage and some good chats!

I love music and playing music with people is one of my favourite things. I've been learning guitar and drums for a handful of years and writing songs. I always love creative collaboration and engaging in arts and creativity with others!

I enjoy taking long walks, listening to music, audiobooks, and podcasts, drawing, painting, and anything creative. I have taught creative writing classes and enjoy writing, journaling and being introspective.

I've been vegan for over a decade, but don't mind others eating meat or animal products around me. I enjoy cooking, sharing food and cooking with others! Big fan of communal meals, potlucks and eating with folks.

I love cycling, camping, hiking, swimming and being outdoors, though can't handle the cold very well! I recently learned how to surf and I loved it! I enjoy any time spent near or in water.

I enjoy yoga, mindfulness, self-growth and self-awareness and consider myself to be a spiritual person. I'm super open to the big chats. I value communication, authenticity, respect and kindness!

Love being silly, love having a laugh and love being a goober.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want a free place to stay and to steal all your food...just kidding. Unless...

I've been on couchsurfing for almost 10 years! 10 years! When I first started, I was 20 years old and backpacking around Europe. I was struggling with deeply connecting with people in hostels and discovered couchsurfing. My life completely changed from that point out.

Couchsurfing has taught me SO much. About trusting people, hospitality, respect, friendship, and authenticity. I've honestly met some truly lovely lifelong pals from couchsurfing and am so grateful I started couchsurfing in my early 20s!

兴趣

I love a lot of things and am a pretty busy person with all of my interests and hobbies!

I journal and write daily and teach creative writing classes.

I love being outside. I love hiking, camping, and spending time in nature. I am kept sane via walks in the forest and swims in the pool or ocean!

I love music! I'm currently learning guitar, banjo and drums! I played ukulele for many years but guitar is my latest love.

I'm a low-key foodie. I love cooking, especially elaborate meals, when I have the time. I've been vegan since 2013 and can swing my way around a kitchen! One of my favourite things is having wine and a yarn with a pal/s whilst cooking a meal!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hitchhiked 30,000km around the world and then wrote, produced and performed a play about the experience!

A not-too-shabby vegan meal, some quality yarns, and hopefully good company! :)
