About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't waste time waiting - start preparing

ABOUT ME

Hi!
I'm 1 in 6 billion...
And here's why:

I'm easy going and fun, energetic but peaceful. I am pragmatic but love being spontaneous. I love to stay up late and wake early to watch the sunrise. I speak my mind but am also considerate of other peoples thoughts and feelings.

I am really excited about meeting new people from all around the world. I can be a little shy to begin with but it doesn't take long for me to feel comfortable. I love sport and I play handball (the European type, not like in the school yard with a tennis ball) in a club. I love chocolate, dancing, the beach, learning German, laughing and having a good time in general.

I left Australia in 2011 for my European backpacking trip. I thought 6 months would do it and then I would go home and start my career. Well, that changed considerably....
Now I have been living in Nürnberg, Germany for just over 3 years.
Will I go back to Australia? - I don't know right now. My heart is in two places...

PHILOSOPHY

Keep smiling.
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

PLEASE DON'T

Please don't think of our home as a free hotel, a place where you need to stay because you can't find anywhere else due to high season or the christmas markets, while you visit Nürnberg for a job interview etc. We want to show you stuff have dinner together and not part ways in the morning and meet again in the evening.
If I do get the feeling it is because of that in you request, I will reply no without a reason.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend told me about couch surfing - so I joined. I hope that some wonderful hosts over the next months will open their door, greet me with a smile, be up for a chat and add to my "Couchsurfing Experience". In return, I hope to add to theirs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first CSing experience in Switzerland (November 19, 2011). He was just AWESOME! We climbed a mountain, made cheese fondue and had a great night out in Zurich.
My next experience involves a love story. Meeting at the Christmas markets in Nürnberg and now we have been together for almost 4 years.
