CURRENT MISSION

Trying to manage post-pilgrim travelling

ABOUT ME

I'm a fresh-out-of-school traveller, born in Germany (and spent a few years there as a kid) but grew up and spent most of my time in regional NSW, Australia. I've just recently finished walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, an 800km pilgrimage, and am still adjusting to normal travel; hoping to have a poke around Barcelona and then head up to Germany for the year, travelling in between (hopefully!) finding some work and volunteer archaeology digs. I love all sorts of food as long as it's vegetarian, and that I also love chocolate doesn't need to be said! I'm an avid reader and worked in a bookshop in Australia for the last two years saving, I love alternative and classical music as well as some more mainstream stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

If in doubt, walk.
If you're upset, walk.
If you have no idea where you are going or why the hell you are walking, walk.

Generally, love life and live it to the fullest. You don't always have to know why you are doing something, just doing it anyway is what counts.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing, though I have stayed in a tiny village on the Meseta in Spain (on the Camino) with couchsurfers - an awesome experience!

Walking the Camino de Santiago is amazing. From the amount of times I've mentioned it in my profile, I think you'll get that.
