I am Anu, an animal lover from Sydney. Tech geek at day job. I'm vegan and am on the staff roster for two pet cats. Trained in martial arts. Love the great outdoors, enjoy yoga, swimming, hiking and cycling. Bit of an adrenalin junkie and have checked off the usual ones : bungee jumping, swinging, skydiving, paragliding, shark cage diving... Not much of a party creature. Glutton for chocolate!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't stay at hosts' places cuz I prefer my own space. But I love meeting people, learning about their lives and exploring new places that locals love.

*Not interested in romantic liaisons/flings! It's pointless writing me if you're looking for love interests*

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Latest one was to work on an organic farm in NZ, learning about forest gardening and permaculture. It was inspiring to see such a simple and rich lifestyle!
