About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a better place through wildlife and environmental conservation.

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to be a nice human that leads by example. I am open to new experiences, cultures, and ideas and am appreciative of all that life has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed the whole East coast of Australia and it was amazing! I met so many amazing humans. Couch surfing is a great network and an even better reality once you actually experience it :D

Interests

Traveling: I have never turned down an opportunity to travel!
Wildlife: my passion and inspiration for a future career as a wildlife/marine biologist
My dogs: Baihdum and Wijit
Outdoors: Keeps me sane :)
Sense of humor: also keeps me sane :)
Being able to experience other people's passion: I love learning new things and being able to experience any aspect of happiness.
Sunshine: Can't get enough of it
Water: There's something so peaceful about bodies of water
::Ideally I spend my time outdoors. I love the feeling of being in a new place and surrounded by new people. I love feeling like I am always moving forward, learning new things, and learning about the world and myself. I also love being around animals, especially my girls (Baihdum and Wijit), whom I spend most of my free time with. I enjoy surrounding myself with outgoing people and love experiencing onew things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like feel-good, happy tunes in my everyday life, but I can appreciate just about any type of music. My favorite artist right is probably Asa.

My favorite books are Ishmael, Neither Wolf Nor Dog, Countdown, and Outlander.

I'm really not a huge movie fan, but I am happy to watch one (if it can capture my attention quickly, otherwise I fall asleep) and I enjoy going to the drive-in now and again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently experiencing my 'amazing thing'. I am travelling around the world volunteering with wildlife and it is the best thing I could have ever done! I am meeting so many amazing and inspiring people! I am also learning and seeing so much! I have witnessed people dedicating their world to something bigger than themselves and I can vouch that it feels excellent and I can't wait to find my niche to do the same!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for wildlife and conservation and am very willing to share my knowledge and experiences with you! Things that I am interested in learning would be languages (Spanish and Afrikaans), dances of all sorts, kite surfing, and I am always keen to learn new recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook, clean, can take care of pets, enjoy all outdoor activities, and can hold a great conversation :D
