Hi,
I'm Jess, I'm currently I'm backpacking through South America with my partner from Fiji. I'm so excited about learning new languages, different cultures and seeing different places. Life is an adventure.

Whilst travelling, I've continued studying in university. I am doing a bachelor of development studies. I love my degree and the amazing opportunities and flexibility it presents. I am passionate about human rights and economic and social equality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favourite things about travelling is the connections that I have made and continue to make around the world.
I am so excited at the prospect of expanding that network, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and getting drunk in new cities... Just kidding!

I would love to meet people who can show me the authentic, fun and exciting places they live. I'd love to see their culture and learn new ways of living. Particularly alternative lifestyles.

Interests

I love to laugh, make jokes and have fun. In my spare time you'll often see me reading a book, relaxing or listening to music.
I'm very laid back, easy going and love to chat.
I love sports, in particular, hiking, jogging and surfing especially. You'll find me most of the time at the beach swimming, kicking a ball around or trying to surf.
