Hi, Its nice to meet you!
I’m Jessie, a free spirited Australian girl who loves to travel to see the world, meet interesting people and go on adventures.
I've been travelling full time for nearly 2 years now and it just keeps on getting better and better.
I’m currently in Europe for the next few months but then have little planned after that, my plans are open, I will see where the wind takes me. I hope to meet positive thinking like-minded people along my journey who I can share this once In a lifetime experience with.

ABOUT ME
I grew up on the sunny city called the Gold Coast, which falls on the boarder of Queensland and New South Wales. When I'm not exploring new countries, I am working as a tour guide along the east coast of Queensland showing backpackers the best parts of my beautiful state. If you're traveling to Aus and plan to go up or down the east coast of Aus, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have on things to do, places to go etc.

I've had so many great meet ups and experiences with Couchsurfing in the past. This community is really incredible and I am looking forward to meeting more people from around the world.

HOBBIES
I love the ocean and the mountains, basically anything outdoors in nature.
In my spare time I enjoy sailing, hiking, exploring, surfing(only a beginner but still love it) , camping, scuba diving, free diving, bike riding and attending live music shows. Activities like bungee jumping, river rafting, canyoning and the like are also an interest of mine. I love outdoor activities and hope to do these in the places I am visiting.

I've recently started a travel blog and have been enjoying working on that in my spare time as well.

WHERE I LIVE
My house is in the suburb Ashmore which is only a 15 minute driving from Surfers Paradise in a car or approx 40 minutes on the bus.
The Nerang train station is just 10 minutes drive away, if you need I can probably drop you there .

I can show you some of our beautiful beaches, one of our national parks or even or take a trip to Byron bay if your interested and we have enough time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, especially traveller's who have an open mind, free spirit and a positive energy.

PHILOSOPHY
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
