CURRENT MISSION

Exploration, education, wacky times...

ABOUT ME

Ok so i am full of energy and am interested in a variety of activities and past times. I love to participate in sport, big nights out dancing, going to gigs, reading a book, playing tunes on the guitar- mind you...not so well and singing/writing lyrics, eating yummy food mmmmmm!

I am currently studying International relations and Public Health at LaTrobe university in Vic, Australia... it's been going really well so far i've really enjoyed tackling two degrees at the one time...its diversified my study time and keeps me on my toes :)

Travel is in my blood...i'm sure of it... Fletcher is my surname, which is derived from arrows smiths and on my mothers side, Reiseger, which means traveler... so there is my logic ahha! Then there is my personal experiences to back it up... I lived in China for 6months in 2005-2006 teaching english through the GAP Activities Aus...program...my first overseas experience and first time on a plane..then there was India, Mexico and NZ and Europe ( most recent adventure, for one year which i love :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live...laugh, sing, dance, dream, forgive, embrace, dare to be different, age, learn, be bad, be good, respect others and yourself, form deeper understandings, love...make the most of life.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing couches in Europe over the past year. The best way to travel i tell you.

Soon i invisage myself putting a couch up for Cs's to come and crash... just got a new place in Melbourne, got to settle in then fingers crossed housemates like this idea as much as i do. taha! I'm hoping to hold onto that element of travelling...meeting and hosting people from around the traps. Nice!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, Dresden, Prague, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Hamburg and almost London (didn't quite work out...but sort of surfed a couch anyho, just not through cs') so far. Love :)

Centres d'intérêt

Swimming, cycling, dancing, singing/playing guitar, walking, going to the beach, eating good ice-cream, reading, snowboarding (tho not well as i have only spent 10days doing it in my life), listening to good music, spending quality time with loved ones and new faces, traveling, study, learning....

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Books:
Ow if i only i could recall all of the good ones i've read throughout my life...
Ow i must advocate for people to engage in 'Three cups of tea' by Greg Mortenson, great read...inspiring...educational.
Infidel (an autobiography). In my skin...though i found it frustrating at times...actually don't read it. Breath. Blueblack... Books in general by Tim Winton. The Davinci code...ahha!... Ben Elton's Blind Faith. Ken Follets Pillars and The world without end (who ever said big doesn´t mean better?)...

Music:
Previously...the kooks o.m.gosh i love them. Kings of Lion. Angus and Julia Stone- sweetest music takes me away to another place...soo moving especially live (falls 2007). Whitely - ..woohoo! the list could go on...
I'm actually feeling a little lost in this department at the moment with no form of radio, computer or television at my disposal...

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

A three day trek of Tiger Leaping Gorger in Yunnan Province...China.

Visited the Dalit Villages in Chennai (old Madras) India.

Sky diving in New Zealand... Queenstown with just under one minute of free fall...it was such a rush :) (1200ft)

Dancing for two days in Berlin... completely straight edge!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can cook up a storm and bake...well Banana cakes really.. haven't yet branched too far in the baking world...

My music and yours
Laughter :)

I would love love to speak Spanish... I recently spent 3months in spain studying the language, need more time on it though...so i shall have to get myself back to spain quick...but must finish up in Australia first.

Honestly, I find it difficult to highlight everything that i want to learn due to having this world of knowledge out there, i would love to grasp it and just breath it all in....but then that would take away from the fun and challenge of encountering it first hand and then wrestelling to formulate my own interpretations.
