About Me

CURRENT MISSION

SPACE JUMP - and I'm in North America?

ABOUT ME

Look at me! I'm deliriously happy, with a grin in my smile and a crazed look in my eyes. Nevertheless, it's bliss.

PHILOSOPHY

Cheese on toast makes for a super lunch on a cold day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm embarking on a trip to North America, possibly Europe and most likely Asia too (if funds permit/i win lotto). I can't wait to be part of the many cogs that make up the CS supermachine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Bit of a novice so far. My experiences don't really extend beyond the actual website *sigh*... but I intend for this to change

Interests

Listening to music (a lot). Good times. The consumption of alcohol (possibly related to good times) Good food. Photography. Exploration. Nature (i'm obsessed! well and truly obsessed). More food. Is this enough...

Music, Movies, and Books

In a perfect world I would have time for REAL books beyond ones that are on my "required reading list" for uni..aka Corporations Legislation 2010.
I did read Madame Bovary in the summer though. It's so good it will make you want to throw things. Dawkins is pretty good too. and David Attenborough's Autobio is a must for any self-professed nature fiend. aka Me.

Music?.. The list could go on forever, but I enjoy the sounds of ratatat, m.ward, phoenix, mgmt, cat stevens, feist, broken social scene, nina simone, andy bull, fleetwood mac, m83, beach house... um.. Beach House again.
Movies...anything with meryl. I don't discriminate (except Julie and Julia... what was she thinking?!)But I really like As It Is In Heaven, 21 Grams, Garden State, Little Children, Foreign Films, y tu mama tambien, Lost in Translation, Margot at the Wedding,
tv - never mind the buzz cocks, big love, 30 rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a librarian at the parliamentary library (so its some pretty wild times - as you can imagine). Me = life of the party. And on my lunch break once I had the Australian Prime Minister steal my elevator and make me take the stairs.... It should be noted that this is a low point in my life. I promise.
amazingness to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a full time student enrolled at the CouchSurfing University. It's a (HUGE) school where everyone's a student and everyone's a teacher...hmm.. ponder ponder ponder.
