CURRENT MISSION

I want to understand as much about the world and myself as I can. I want to make a concerted effort to expand my consciousness while having an amazing time. Life is too serious to be taken seriously

ABOUT ME

I think I am pretty laid back. I love to have a good time and to laugh. I think I am a people person. I have worked for four years in the fashion industry in Australia, while simultaneously studying for a BA with a major in Philosophy. I don't know what I want to do with my life, so I plan to explore until I find something that sticks. I just want to know whats out there and try to find a place where I fit.

I think the most important thing in life is the connections you make.

PHILOSOPHY

I am still working on it. I guess I am travelling to try to get a better perspective of the way I want to live my life and what I want to do while I am living it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the only way you can really get a feel for a place is if you experience it through the eyes of someone that lives there. I think couch surfing is a great way to get off the main tourist route and have some really amazing experiences.

Interests

I am interested in Art and Beauty and Comedy. I love music, although I am not musically talented at all, I love going to see live bands and dancing around like a maniac to fabulous DJ's. I absolutely love to cook, i think it is the kind of simple pleasure that can bring a honest joy into a day. I like to read and love film. I am not a religious person but I am fascinated by spirituality.
