About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience as much of the world as I can before I die!

ABOUT ME

I've been described as really enthusiastic, crazy, warm and passionate :)

I love to dance, run, climb mountains, do art, sing, cook, read, go to the theatre, laugh and of course, travel!

I've done some pretty amazing things including running the London Marathon, swimming with dolphins, trekking to Machu Picchu, mountain biking down the Death Road in Bolivia and cuddling koalas in Australia! Right now I am focusing on my big career adventure : becoming a Personal Trainer :)

I really enjoy immersing myself in different cultures and learning about other people's lives and experiences all around the world. Couchsurfing has been invaluable to me on my travels and it is always my favourite way to learn about a different country and its people.

Please feel free to ask me any questions and maybe one day we will meet along the beaten track :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live each day in the moment, live it to it's fullest, keep happy, think happy, be happy and you will attract positive things to you. Be open always with everyone and they will get the best out of you and you the best out of them. Respect others and their views and opinions as their own, and embrace the differences :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been lucky enough to have some fantastic experiences as a surfer. I'm always keen to give something back to my hosts and really immerse myself in a true sharing experience. I really hope to host people in the near future with my partner Bas here in Canberra :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've now couchsurfed many times in many countries, on my own and more recently this year with my boyfriend. We always offer to cook a meal for our hosts as a way of saying thank you :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to dance so music is a central part of my life. I mostly listen to rock, metal, indie, and dance.

I'm a total bookworm! And of course, I'm always up for seeing a good movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a volcano in ecuador and being above the clouds! White water rafting in the amazon and whale watching. Trekking through the rainforest with a woolly monkey on my head (i love animals!)

This year has to be running the london marathon, those 26.2 miles were an incredible experience.

Being at the very top of the eiffel tower watching the sunset and drinking champagne for my birthday this year.

Performing on stage in a london theatre.

Fulfilling 2 of my bucket list things - swimming with dolphins and going to Machu Picchu.

Riding a camel in the desert :)

Finally experiencing the awesome city that is Budapest!
