About Me

Hi, I'm back in Perth after spending three years living abroad. I had been using my spare time to explore my new cities/countries and their surrounds and now that I’m back, will be looking for regular weekend getaways! As a laid-back person with a fun sense of humour, I enjoy being around people that can have a good laugh - you'll find me occasionally witty and consistently sarcastic. My family and friends are and always will be very important to me. I grew up doing loads of camping and fishing so know Rottnest and Margaret River very well. I like to keep very active and until recently, had always been involved in team sports like soccer (football). I'm currently learning to dance Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Zouk and West Coast Swing but still have one and a half left feet. I also spend a lot of time in the gym and try to get outdoors whenever possible with plenty of time at the beach. I obviously enjoy travelling and have a passion for seeing new places, learning new things and experiencing different cultures. In Houston I become somewhat of a foodie and am told I'm pretty good at cooking it too. I am very open to new experiences and am willing to give almost anything a go :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, immerse myself in different cultures, try new things, continue to see my own city through fresh eyes, laugh and make people smile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Machu Picchu and Skydiving were my two top busket list items that I've done.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Some basic dance steps
Share: Food - we can cook for each other. Camping - perhaps a weekend getaway.
Learn: Interested in lots of things! Language, history, sport, to name a few.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Very good local knowledge of what to see and do. Look up Rottnest Island, Kings Park, Caversham Wildlife Park, Cottesloe Beach, Scarborough Beach, Fremantle, Yallingup, Margaret River.
Understanding of what it's like to be in a new country and city and what people will want to experience (as well as being culturally sensitive/aware).
An interest and openness to learning new cultures, ways of doing things and meeting new people.
A central location amongst all the major places of interest.
