About Me

I LOVE a good adventure! Love visiting new places, trying new things and learning about different cultures. I'm totally obsessed with music and I am a singer.

I have also always been really interested in human potential and the power of the mind. I quit the corporate world a few years ago to work for myself and travel the world! I want to live life to the fullest and I believe that a happy mind creates a happy life.

I grew up in England but moved to Sydney when I was young and now am so blessed to have dual citizenship. I moved to Bali late last year and have been travelling since. I'm planning a 3 month Europe summer adventure 2019 and I would love to meet some amazing people and experience the places I'm visiting with locals as this is my favourite way to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning to do some travelling and would love to meet locals and get a real authentic experience in the countries that I visit. It refreshes my soul to meet new people and share experiences.

I would love to be able to offer accommodation back to travellers, however at the moment I'm technically homeless! Hehe I'll be travelling until September and then settling back in Sydney whereby I will be very happy to welcome guests and show you around!

I'm excited to meet new people and have adventures!

Interests

I love the outdoors and keeping fit. When I was younger you would always find me outside during summer, usually up a tree. I'm spiritual and enjoy yoga, meditation and personal development. It has been amazing living in Sydney as there are so many beautiful coastal walks and national parks. I'm planning to travel a lot more next year and want to visit Hawaii (again, 5 days was not enough last time!), Machu Picchu and Scandinavia and Iceland in the summer. I am also learning Italian and plan to go back to Italy to stay for a few months next year.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - old school rnb/hip hop is my jam! Mase, 2Pac, Jagged Edge, Aaliyah. I also love reggae, afrobeats and basically anything with a good baseline. I grew up with both parents in a jazz band so I love jazz too.

Books - I'm the girl who starts a book and gets excited about a new one so I'm always reading about 5 books at a time! I read mostly non-fiction, I hung out in the self-help section of the book store before it became trendy!

Movies - not surprisingly I love movies about travel and adventure. Anything uplifting and light - you will find me hiding under the bed if a horror movie is on.

What I Can Share with Hosts
