CURRENT MISSION

To embrace new experiences.

ABOUT ME

Originally an Adelaide girl, I moved to Canberra four years ago after finishing university. I use to manage a youth hostel and am passionate about travel and tourism. I am adventurous and social and love to meet new people and try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Challenge yourself to try new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I traveled through Europe in 2006 I stayed with many friends I met whilst living in youth hostels in Dublin.

My favourite was staying with Hana and her family in Czech Republic. She lived in a small town called Kutna Hora. Her friends were very welcoming and when Hana was working I headed to regional music festivals. It was a great time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy indie, funk and jazz music; I am an intermittent reader; and my guilty pleasure is watching trashy chick flicks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011, I really wanted to see more of Australia, in particular the east coast. I didn't own a car, nor did I want to. I did, however, own a bicycle and so decided to go cycle touring.

I started in Cairns in far north Queensland and rode via Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to Adelaide. In all the trip was just over 6,500km.

Australia is an amazing vast country and I feel so much more connected to it since cycle touring. There are some awesome little towns in Queensland, stunning national parks in northern NSW and the Gippsland cycle trails and towns are fantastic.

Cycle touring is amazing and i recommend it to anyone considering giving it a go.
