About Me

CURRENT MISSION

take one day at a time, and make that one a darn good one

ABOUT ME

American gal, though honourary Aussie...the world is a playground, trying to make sure I go on more than just the swings! Currently travelling Europe for the first time as I multil-task with job-hunting. My recent life plans have crashed and burned, so just taking things as they come and trying to always wake up with a smile and passion for the day

PHILOSOPHY

I work with cancer patients, so try my best to take their advice and cherish every moment I get and not linger on yesterday or stress about tomorrow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

trying my hand at couchsurfing, looking forward to offering a couch myself whenever/if ever I do finally settle somewhere

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I`ve surfed in NZ and Chile, met a few great people for a simple coffee in France as well!

Interests

dancing like a fool, walking down old brick lanes in random countries, learning how to say "thank you" and "where are the toilets?" in these countries, sports, reading good books and knitting next to a fire, playing in the rain, adrenaline activities (rock climbing, sky diving, snowboarding, etc)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a mood thing, it can go from Damien Rice to Citizen Cope to Jay-Z over the course of a day. Books are my lifeline and essential travel companion, always taking suggestions and willing to give any read a try!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the life-changing impact of exercise and a chat

travel-wise: the incredible unity of Chile after being present during the earthquake there; rock-climbing in the French Alps; how amazing Balinese people are; sunsets in Western Australia

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone always seems to ask "why?"..."why not?" makes for much better adventures.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, France, Italy, United Kingdom, United States
