Hello! My name is Cordelia and I will be starting a work and holiday visa in Australia after traveling through Singapore and Bali for a couple weeks. I recently spent the summer working in Yosemite National Park and before that I spent a year in New Zealand where I got my skydiving license

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found that I get so much more from a place when I get to know locals. Couchsurfing seemed like a great way to do just that so here I am!

Interests

I enjoy adventurous eating, doing acroyoga on a bright sunny day, spinning poi, jumping out of planes, and having Muppet movie marathons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a certified skydiver and have jumped out of a plane by myself 48 times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an endless supply of fun facts about animals and a collection of painfully cheesy jokes for first graders. I am always eager to learn about different backgrounds and cultures and am currently teaching myself Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am adequate in the kitchen and enjoy cooking with other people. I am also always willing to help out with groceries and chores around the house.
