Hi,
I am a teacher from rural NSW, Australia.

I love the simple things in life and am currently travelling for four months with my partner.

Learning about countries, their people and cultures is a huge passion of mine. The countries where I've spent quality time with locals are the countries I've loved the most!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn, experience new things and hopefully create life long friendships with people from all over the world

Interests

I enjoy the outdoors, exercise, water skiing, snow skiing, scuba diving, reading, game boards, soccer and netball. Love history, watching educational documentaries, learning about cultural differences and quirky/fun facts about places.

I have camped, bungee jumped, gone canyoning, caving, cliff jumping, zip lining, sailing, tubing, ice skating, paragliding, white water rafting, sand boarding, abseiling, hang gliding, motor bike riding and played polo on a horse- still so much to try!

Future goals:
- HOST people (despite my rural location)
- Hitch hike more
- Learn to cook a variety of cuisines
- Learn a new language
- Volunteer
- Bike through a country

Teach, Learn, Share

"Buy experiences. Not things. Spending on experiences makes people happier than spending on things. Things get broken and go out of date. Experiences get better every time you talk about them". - Jean Chatzgy
