CURRENT MISSION

Hike, camp, hitchhike around Tasmania

ABOUT ME

Born in New Zealand, educated in Taiwan, Oman, and Hong Kong, further tossed around the world a bit before settling in Sydney for university. After University I worked and lived in Singapore and then in Hong Kong. I traveled around Europe and Morocco with (at different times) my ex-boyfriend and my sister in 2013/2014 and then settled again in Sydney.

I've been teaching English as a second language for the past 2 years, and exploring Australia as much as I can. My partner and I not long ago returned from a three month road trip around Central Australia.

I love the outdoors; bushwalking, birdwatching, camping. I'm an avid reader and also enjoy writing, I love gardening, mucking around on the guitar, singing in my choir, yoga and a billion other things.

My plan at the moment is to travel around Tasmania for about a month, hopping from national park to national park and doing as many walks as I can. I'm flying into Hobart on the 31st of October and would love to explore the city for a few days before heading off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have couchsurfed many times in Europe and in Morocco and it has always been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. You're able to get a glimpse of everyday life in a particular area and also meet people, share stories, gets travel tips. It's a wonderful service and I'd always opt to couch surf over staying in a hotel/hostel.
