About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"Travel is like adultery: one is always tempted to be unfaithful to oneâs own country. To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you live ... in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation." - Anatole Broyard
ABOUT ME
First a rock climber!
Then someone who galavants around the world indefinitely!
And sometimes a surfer.
According to my friends, I apparently do not have a "real job" because on a daily basis, I:-
Teach kids how to surf
Organise rock climbing trips
Go biking
Hike around rainforests
Kayak around flat rivers
And all just for work =D
Sometimes I travel. Yes, sometimes. A girl needs a job to help fund all her rock climbing trips around the world =D
PHILOSOPHY
Life's too short for maybes and what if's.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Unfortunately, not much since I'm always on the road! And the last time I CS-ed was in Europe four years ago!
But I must say, that I've made best friends with CS-ers in Munich when I was conveniently stranded in the train station, speaking none of the language or knowing anyone.
A story for another day, but be sure to ask me when you see me!
Interests
If you can't figure it out already, I'm an avid climber and I eat books for dinner (I cook too. No, not them books - real food).
I LOVE GOOD MUSIC. This is not an understatement. The best thing about traveling is being able to share and exchange amazing music with people you meet.

I've been trying to write, but I get distracted easily *twiddles thumbs*
