About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, meet people and have fun.

ABOUT ME

I'm a small, loud, outgoing, musical Australian girl.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to spend as much time as I can at the moment doing stuff I enjoy doing and making lots of time for myself and for my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a bunch of people from different places at my place in Melbourne, and I'm looking forward to trying out some surfing myself while on holiday to Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love hosting friendly people who enjoy sharing experiences, eating and drinking together and generally having a good time. I've been really lucky with all my surfers who have all been great fun.

I've surfed with people in Paris, Berlin, Dresden and Vienna. All were really great experiences. It's so nice to meet local people rather than partying with foreign people in a foreign place. I'm so grateful for having the experience of couchsurfing.
