Hi,

I'm Gemma. I'm currently travelling for two years. I started in Africa. During my time in Africa I travelled Tanzania, Zanzibar, and South Africa. In this time I did a week Safari, a bungee jump, kayaked, scuba dived, volunteered in an Orphanage, and visited various other amazing places across the countries. I have to say, I absolutely love Africa, such a beautiful place..

Since Africa, I have been to Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. I am now in Australia 🇦🇺😎 I have a years working holiday visa and want to see and experience as much as possible. I hope that some of the interesting people here on couch surfing can help me with advice and tips on what to see and do!

Next countries on my wish list to visit are:
Malaysia
Singapore
Indonesia
Fiji
India
New Zealand.

A little about me. I'm out-going and love to meet new people and experience new culture, hence travelling Solo. I'm a good cook, and an animal lover :)
By profession I am a Social Worker in Child Protection. My main hobby is Scuba Diving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling the world for two years, looking to meet new and interesting people, get new tips and advice.

Also, every penny saved helps along the way :)

I am looking to teach English abroad at some point, or teach scuba diving.
