Swimmer and beach lover. Grew up right by the sea so I love the water and anything related to it. I work as a lifeguard and recently graduated from university, but before embarking further I want to enjoy my freedom and take the opportunity to explore a big chunk of the world.

I'm Australian, but my heritage is half Scottish and half Malaysian so I've been lucky enough to have had a lot of experience travelling around Asia when I was a kid.
I also recently spent 3 months in India and some more parts of South-East Asia, which was an awesome experience. Right now I'm really excited to get immersed in some alpine scenery in North America and experience Europe.

I also volunteer with a refugee program with the Red Cross Australia at home so I get to meet a lot of amazing people from very interesting places. I'm fascinated by meeting new people and hearing their stories.

The reason I travel? To enjoy the company of new people, witness the beauty of natural environments, be inspired by modern and old cities and to give my taste buds an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I get along with almost anyone and I want to experience something new! I really love the idea of being able to connect and share experiences with people all over the globe.

Interests

Eating. Seriously love eating just about anything and whatever is exciting and different.

Swimming and anything water related, especially body boarding, surfing and water polo.

Hiking and exploring beautiful landscapes by foot.

Architecture and learning about sustainable building.

Learning about almost anything and volunteering to pass on the good things I am grateful for.

Love watching almost any films and reading a wide variety to relax my mind.
