About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Walk gently,breathe peacefully, laugh joyfully!

ABOUT ME

I follow my heart even if the choices I make don't necessarily make sense at the time. I believe in optimism and everything has a way of working out! I'm a bit of a hippy at heart, easy going and open minded. I love the spontaneity of traveling and the not knowing where I'll end up, who I'll meet and what adventures I may have. I've traveled a lot around North, South America, UK, France, Australia, Thailand and many Southern African countries. Its all been an absolutely amazing experience. I have lived in Perth, AU for the last six years but have recently moved to Canada with my partner.

PHILOSOPHY

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow them"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to be able to host right now but my current living situation doesnt allow for it. However, I try remain active with the CS community where possible. I would often meet up with travelers in my host town and offer my advice and just have a chat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing.. it makes you realise we have more in common than we think we do and each person has a story to tell.

Interests

I love to keep active and I play tennis, hockey, and squash. Basically anything sport or outdoor adventure related!

I scuba dive, kayak, horse ride and hike (leisurely). I've tried kitesurfing and snowboarding and will try most things if it means getting out and meeting new people.

I like taking risks (calculated of course) such as shark diving, sky diving or even eating something from a local seller in some back end country (You just don't know what you're getting!).

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not really into movies. Not to say I don't watch them but you wont find me lining up at 3am to be catch a premier! I love all music from reggae to metal to dub.

I learned to play piano and the treble recorder at school but I would love to perfect my skills. I'd also love to play the guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm living my dream and being true to myself. Something many people don't get to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

That is exactly it. Everyone has something to give, share or learn.
