About Me

I am a bubbly person, as they say. I have a lot to say, but first off I might seem like a shy person. Now that is not at all true. It just takes me a while to adjust and see what kind of stuff I can talk about with the people I'm with at that moment. As some of you know... you can talk to me about ANYTHING.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of choices - its just about making the right ones. People just have to look in the right direction and be brave to do their own thing. I don't want to follow a ready set path. Life is what you make of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing as a surfer in Australia in 2009. I have had a few people stay over at my place, but I have mostly been out for coffee and drinks! I am interested to meet people from all over the world and to be able to share experiences and moments together so that hopefully the world would change for the better...bit by bit, when people realize that other people are not so scary.
I think the best experience so far has been when a lovely couchsurfing couple and I got to know each other so well that they invited me to their wedding!!
