About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the nooks and crannies of this weird and wonderful world.

ABOUT ME

Part adventurer, part lass. I'm an open minded person who loves exploring. Soaking in other cultures is a passion of mine. I'm an energetic person who likes doing things by hand and seeing things on foot. I love art in its many forms, especially contemporary. I enjoy being social especially when there are dogs about but I also respect a sense of space.

PHILOSOPHY

"Smile and the world smiles back" I like to consider humanity to be a whole entity. I have a very global outlook and love sharing ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've enjoyed being a guest in another country and would love to give back to the couchsurfing community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed on the west coast for about a month and it was a pretty awesome experience. Seeing the city from the perspective of people I've stayed with was particularly great, you get to uncover a city's past and present.

Interests

I enjoy working at music and arts festivals all over Australia and going to gigs/ other live entertainment. I like taking long road trips to new places to discover hidden gems. I enjoy cooking, making my own tea blends and I'm a huge fan of craft beer. I like record crate trawling and urban exploration on foot. Above all, I love seeing this world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Amsterdam my travelling buddy and I lived in a sustainable popup artwork. It was a cut out section of a kitchen, with a sink and bench space and cupboards. Under the sink was a double bed with clear plastic walls and ceiling so you could see the stars at night.

Teach, Learn, Share

Giving oodles of pats to family pets. Analogue and digital photography, making espresso coffee, computer software skills, being a great drinking companion

What I Can Share with Hosts

Weird and wacky tales! Cooking fiestas, walking companion.
