ABOUT ME
Hello I'm in my 3rd year at Uni - studying Trauma & Healing Degree through the Indigenous College in Lismore. This course has already facilitated deep self-growth & development. I'm now pursuing a Law & Justice major, it challenging but in a good way. I am positive, creative & passionate about life and what I do. I enjoy nourishing my being with good company, belly laughs, good food, exercise, meditation, music and more.
PHILOSOPHY
Give without attachment. Receive with Grace.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've hosted fellow CSers & attended gatherings while living in Ireland. I CSed while travelling through Holland & Czech Republic and also attended a CS gathering at a festival in Utrecht, Holland. I was even interviewed for a CS article in Rotterdam, Holland. I've also set up the Lismore, NSW CS group - since I'm living there now - feel free to join if you have (or will) have some connection to the area :-) I also met CSers for drinks in Melbourne when I was there last. Finally, I am a verified member which means I've donated money to the project and I've also been vouched for twice.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I CSed with 4 different hosts - in Holland and also in Czech Republic. All were great experiences with very different people. Great hospitality, great food, great couch/bed, new friends. What more could I ask for?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Since 2003 I've lived in Queensland, Western Australia and Ireland and then did 2 months backpacking around Europe - I was gone nearly 4 years and it was a solo mission all the way.
Skydived in the Whitsundays, right over the Great Barrier Reef - Amazing!
