About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Laugh, Love

ABOUT ME

We (the boyfriend and I) have just left his homeland to return to my homeland in the States, for now anyway. We'll be heading to Sydney again at the end of August but in the meantime we'll be exploring Seattle, Portland and California. If you are in these areas we'd love to meet you!

I'm also an aspiring travel writer. If you like reading travelogues, articles about destinations and tips for travel check out my blog here: http://waywardtraveller.com.

As I travel and write about it I'm learning a lot about the world and others and in the while learning a lot about myself.

I like the simple life; travel, coffee, friends, beer, music, laughter...

PHILOSOPHY

You don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart. --Jack Johnson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I thought I knew it all after living in Seattle for 5 years but in the Uni bubble I had just scratched the service! I am just as much exploring this city as a passing by traveler, so come join me!

At the moment we don't have a couch (literally) so I am not in shape to actually host anyone, but more than happy to just hang out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed for my first time in Dublin over St. Paddy's Day and it was a fantastic experience. We had a great host and great fellow-surfers in the house at the time. A total of 7 newbies in that one little Dublin apartment!

I have also found quite a few friends in Florence (living and traveling) via the site. It's a great idea and I hope to utilize it more in my future travels.

Interests

Meeting people, doing things that I have never done before, seeing the world, learning the languages, learning other people's stories.
