ABOUT ME

Je viens de Melbourne et je suis en France un mois en vacances. J'ai passé neuf mois à Millau et Toulouse il y a deux ans et j'ai un bon niveau de français. Je fais pas mal de sport - netball, yoga, la course, le vélo et du surf. J'aime bien partager ma culture avec des étrangères et d'apprendre des autres.

I'm from Melbourne, Australia. A few other things about me:I like both cities and the country.- I grew up in the country but have lived in a city for 10 years.I really enjoy interesting conversation, analysing things and finding the funny side of life and like to be active.

PHILOSOPHY

Yes, it's wise to have one

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Through this you can meet lots of different people. I also want to couchsurf to get to know the places I`m visiting better. Although I like going to see the tourist attractions in places I visit, I prefer doing authentic things with people that live there. Most of my favourite travel experiences have been like this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have couchsurfed with some fantastic people in a few different countries. I´ve attended CS events in Melbourne, NY, London and Barcelona. Going to the Montjuïc de Nit music festival in Barcelona was awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In The Galapagos Islands -cruising around the beautiful islands and seeing so many animals, including swimming with sea lions
Also in Ecuador when volunteering at a remote and spot near the Colombian border which was high up in the mountains and very cold- going out on big search parties for another volunteer who had gone missing for a couple of days. Fortunately she was found in the end!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people about Australia and give them suggestions for places to visit if they´re thinking of travelling there. I can speak English with people if they want to practise it too.
I can play Monopoly and know a few card games. What else can I teach? - how to fix up puncture on your bike and how to ride with no hands
