About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teaching Indonesian to some amazing students in Warrnambool. In the other time trying to chill with awesome people in awesome places.

ABOUT ME

I am friendly, social, enjoy a laugh Easily motivated/Easily convinced/Easily Pleased...

When I think of my favourite places i've visited I don't think of the 'selfies' or the beers or the food or the gondola ride I spent/wasted 50 euros on... I think of the people. The people you meet away are what makes the town/city/cave... Without chilling with the locals a town is just the same as buying a postcard or eating at a restaurant 10000 miles away. having a chat, or sharing a few drinks or just walking around with someone new,interesting and local is what makes the trip, and whats stays with you after you are long gone...

I enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places. I have lived abroad before in Austria and Indonesia which were both very different countries but incredible experiences. I just wanna see the world and whats out there - one town at a time, and would love you to be able to help me on my journey! I don't just wanna take - I'd love to cook you a meal or fill your evening with good chat - I'll do my best I promise!

PHILOSOPHY

if puss and dog can get together - why can't we love each other?..Bob Marley

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started people, hopefully I can participate by getting to know your beautiful faces!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2014 I had the fortune of couchsurfing across Iran and meeting some of the warmest and most beautiful, interesting and captivating people you could imagine. Please spend some time there...

Interests

sports - I love adopting new sporting teams abroad that I have previously never heard of. In Australia I love to play Australian Football - a mix between soccer,rugby,beach volleyball and quiditch!

Music - I play guitar and try to sing

I like learning new languages, even if it's a few words.

I really like cooking and would love to learn about local food or teach you about mine at home.

I am interested in anything new, old, different or unique, or just being silly.

Movies/Shows - I like thrillers and anything with a bit of action - always enjoy anything with a ridiculously 'lucky' hero who just never dies like Jack Bauer..
