About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Leap and the net shall appear.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town on a cattle ranch and will forever be a country girl. Then I moved to University where the school made me a little more refined and introduced me to some of the most incredible, empowering and inspiring people I've ever met.

Since then I have lived in at least 15 different places and worked 19 jobs. I now have found my groove in Marketing and also, connected with a long time crush :)

We are now moving to Australia to tackle a challenge and accomplish a goal we have had for many years.

PHILOSOPHY

DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW.

Find out what you are afraid of and move there. - Chuck Palahniuk

The world bores you when you’re cool. - Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes

If you don't build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs.

If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely. - Roald Dahl

Never be afraid of what is good. Despite how difficult and scary it may seem. Do not walk away from possibilities. From potential. From your life that you’ve been given.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I arrived in Auckland with no idea of what was to come but Stu, a fellow couchsurfer, and I had made arrangements and he picked me up the airport early in the morning and I never looked back! I was a little uncomfortable being in a different country by myself for the first time, but he did a lovely job at making me feel welcome. He made my first few days in the country awesome - he invited me to join him on his visit to his Mums, which was an epic weekend of summiting mountains! and he also let me join him on the trip back north and stay at his home in Whangerei! It was the best way to kick off the trip - thank you Stu!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have crazy eclectic music tastes - anything with a great beat that makes me want to tap my toe.

And books? Atlas Shrugged, The Shack, 'arry Potta, The Bible, Eat Pray Love, Roald Dahl, The Hot Zone...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

As a fellow couchsurfer would love to learn and exchange stories/info on places seen and explored. Its one of the best ways to get tips on a new place and I would love to share some insight on places I've traveled as well. Seeing and listening to what others are most passionate about is always a good time!
