CURRENT MISSION

experiencing life in coutry France

ABOUT ME

I have just started work as an au pair in Soultz after six months of travel and work through out Europe. Hoping to speak a lot of french and board a lot of snow before heading back to Melbourne in feb.

PHILOSOPHY

I dont think that I have one. I try not to become too set on particular beliefs however am quite serious about upholding particular personal values and morales.

I don't believe people have the right to torture or eat animals and think we should co-exist as equals. I think its crazy that people think im crazy for believing this. I wish more attention was paid to equality and the state of the enviro rather than focusing so inwardly on ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have only now found the time to start using CS regularly, don't mind the old mattress/floor though it reminds me of having to sleep in the lounge room during summer time!. Aiming for the next Alsace CS meeting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing as of yet - looking forward to my first CS drink/coffee

Interests

Lounging in front of good comedy with people that make me feel good. The outdoors and exercise, music - especially when it's original, vegetarian and vegan cuisine, my rather large family, funnies, contributing to the greater good - helping the environment and people in need.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is a hard .. to counteract the risk of sounding cliched by mentioning the word cliched, I think it is important to feel free. Free to be and listen to who you are. This sounds much simpler and easier than it is.

I have a lot to learn and it confuses me so!
