CURRENT MISSION

Experience the beauty of life

ABOUT ME

I (of course) love traveling and learning about new cultures! The best way to learn about a culture is through food. I love to cook and bake and learning about food systems (however depressing it can be). I laugh a lot and have been slowly building up my repertoire of corny jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people so that I can pass a good word along :) I've surfed some couches abroad and hoping to host once I have my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have stayed with some great couchsurfing hosts on the east coast of Australia! I've also attended lively Wed night CS meetings when I lived in Auckland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen sunrise and sunset at the Grand Canyon. I've also seen the sun set as the moon rose in Joshua Tree, CA.

I could probably tell you more than you want to know about how to maintain a trail.
