About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the states and see & experience as much as I can in the short amount of time I have here.

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm... I always hate trying to write things about myself because its always all wrong but I'll give it me best and hopefully don't bore you with too many details. As above I finished high school & no interest in furthering my studies so I got a job & worked there for 6 years saving my butt off to travel for 6 months. So I'm 2 months in the states, 2 months in Sth America & 2 months in Canada. I've never been more excited. I'm a little shy when you first meet me but don't worry it doesn't take me too long to come out of my shell. I like to have a drink & party with friends & that is most of what I did when I was back home & not working. I'm extremely easy going & I love to laugh!

PHILOSOPHY

Fun is essential! It has been a saying of mine since I was a wee tacker (which is Aussie for little kid). Also something my mum always says "If you can't be good, be careful"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I've just discovered the Couch Surfing world. It's amazing! For now I just want you to put me up, please, please, please. :) When I get back home and find a house to live in I would love to host people. I will be in share houses though so I'll have to run it past any housemates I have. I would hate for someone to arrive & feel uncomfortable & same for the housemates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any experience's at this as I'm shiny & new but I'll be sure to update this with more information once I have some more.

Interests

I like dancing & drinking & spontaneity! I like to watch the Aussie Rules Football which probably won't mean too much to any of you but go Roos!. I love dogs! They are the cutest things in the world. Also travelling is certainly interesting. I like to see things! Oh & I love food. Especially when it's delicious & good for you. I also like to bake treats (which are not so good for you but are delicious none the less).

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Tank Girl is one of the only movies I've watched more than 50 times or something but it is an awesome movie even if it was a flop. Also I love the movie Death Proof (which also has a great soundtrack). I'll watch anything though but there are lots of classic which I haven't seen and when I tell people they go "OMG, I can't believe you haven't seen that!"
Music: I'll listen to anything from Ella Fitzgerald to Tool to Pat Benetar to Beyonce. If it's brilliant, fun, good to dance to, hilarious or anything that makes me tap my foot I'll listen to it.
Books: Anything by John Wyndham is awesome. Also I like Stephen King and a couple of other random books. I don't mind a biography occasionally. I will basically read anything as long as it can capture my interest in the first chapter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a guy the other day make a lion out of aluminium foil. It was amazing! I like origami too so that could be why I thought this was particularly amazing. I'm sure this is not the most amazing thing I have seen but it is all that comes to mind right now.

Teach, Learn, Share

Panda's mark their territory by backing up to a tree and doing a handstand against it. While in the handstand position on a tree they then pee as high up the tree as they can. The higher the pee the more dominant the male.
Also have you ever noticed that nearly every commercial for a watch has the time 10:10. Useless facts is more my domain rather than things that could actually help you somewhere along the line. :)
