CURRENT MISSION

To see the beautiful and the ridiculous everywhere I go.

ABOUT ME

I'm on a working holiday in Australia after a 9-month backpacking trip through Southeast Asia. Just finished living in Sydney for 7 months - ready for the next adventure in Melbourne!

PHILOSOPHY

Live fast and die old. And take pictures of everything along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When traveling, I like to stay with people who are interested in meeting someone new and sharing their culture. I'm not looking for a free hostel--I really want to see what normal life is in the places I end up, because I think that's the best part of traveling!

When I have a longer-term place to stay, I plan to host fellow surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I Couchsurfed on a five-month trip through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina a couple of years ago and loved it.

Interests

Languages, photography, dancing tango and salsa and just about anything else, laughing until my eyes water, fashion, jungle treks, people-watching, cooking, being a dork about things like crossword puzzles, seeing where my travels take me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I poured molten iron once! Also, the Salar de Uyuni (salt flats in Bolivia) is probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to work at a Moroccan restaurant, so I can teach you the most useless skill ever: how to pour hot tea into a glass balanced on your forehead.
