About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make enough money to travel a bit more before real life begins again

ABOUT ME

I am friendly and easygoing. I don't take myself too seriously and I tell (apparently) bad jokes, but I think they are funny. I am a little bit ditsy and I lose everything, especially when I am travelling. I daydream quite a lot so sometimes I'm in a world of my own! I am sociable and love being around people most of the time. I enjoy having close friends but I also enjoy meeting new people.

I live and work in Sydney at the moment, after about 6 months travelling around SE Asia and Australia.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy life as much as you can while you are here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couch surfed before but I am keen to when the time is right! At the moment I'm sharing a bed and we don't have a sofa, so I can't host. For the mean time I'd be happy to meet up in Sydney. I've been here a few months now so I can show you around if you are new :)

Interests

Travelling (standard), finding new and ridiculous ways to procrastinate and occupy my time, socialising, Psychology, going to museums and looking at stuff, working out how to use my camera and taking photos. Cooking!! How did I forget this one?! I love cooking and baking but I don't like cleaning up afterwards.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently went to Tasmania with a new but now very close friend. We camped at a National Park there. We headed down to a beautiful and empty beach for sunset and the colours were phenomenal - the rocks and the sand were an orangey red. Later on the stars came out. It had been such a clear day so there were millions of them.

I went to an elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai and it was amazing how much the staff there knew about each individual animal and the passion they had. I had never seen an elephant before so being up close to them was awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

Due to my primary school teacher education, I can teach you: basic English, Maths, Science, Art, Geography, History etc. This is handy if you are aged between 5 and 11.

I can also teach you children's songs and games.

I know a little bit about Psychology as well.

I'm really just a fountain of knowledge.

I would like to learn French, the piano and creative writing.
