About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson

ABOUT ME

I am a twin, in australia studying and trying to pass my course and meet new ppl along the way. i am only here till march 2011 so my goal is to try and see as much of oz and the south pacific as possible before hiking it back across the world to the east coast of the states

i am easy going, friendly but can be shy at first. a generally happy and optimistic person and i love hearing and sharing travel and life stories. if i can learn something from you (which will be very likely) even better.

i am happy hanging out at the beach all day or at a beer garden with friends. i love outdoor activities, and trying new foods and wandering new places. i am pretty easy to please.

i love australia. every bit of it except for crazy melbourne weather sometimes. i cant wait for summer and to experience my first hot christmas. i cant believe the color of the oceans here no matter how many times i see it, and the natural beauty of oz. i am still in awe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i would love to have people surf here but unfortunately i am living in a home of a family that has taken me in as their 'foster' child for the year. they have been absolutely amazing and i dont want to step on any toes by having more people in the house than there should be but i would love to get out and show new people melbourne. it'll give me a reason to explore more as well!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my sister signed up first so we have been sharing one since living in prague but since i am so far away i figured i would sign up. in prague we hosted a bunch of very cool people and met tons through other couch surfers. i havent yet had the opportunity to surf but am hoping to in the future.
