ABOUT ME

I think this is the moment everyone cringes about...hard not to sound up yourself, and it's so hard not to write the same things as everyone else: "I love to travel, I am open minded, etcetera, etcetera" (though all true :)) I guess if you want an insight into who I am you'll have to meet me, but I suppose I can say a few sentences... I love games: board games, charades, puzzles, any game really. I host Easter Egg Hunts and put ribbons in my hair for them, even though I'm 24. Stargazing on the grass and being wrapped up in a massive blanket is bliss. I have a slightly nerdy love for themed parties. I love summer thunderstorms and running around in the rain when it's warm enough. People tell me I have a pretty catchy smile. Rock-pooling is my favourite thing to do at the beach. Red wine and chocolate are my weaknesses, if you love sitting at home sharing a bottle of wine and chatting, my couch may be the one for you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a spare room with a couch and space on the floor for a mattress if you have one (although it might get rented out at some point!), and a couch in the lounge room. I also have a big back garden if you want to set up a tent, etcetera. I have a pretty busy schedule so there are times I might not be able to host, but most of the time I'm keen to have people stay and show them around the city.
