About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...extend the boundries of my security blanket...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old PE and Outdoor Education teacher, who feels like my life has just begun. I love my job and my life. I've never lived in the same house for longer than two years, or the same country for longer than 8. I love to travel, challenge my limitations and knowledge of myself and understanding of the world. I am thought filled when I´m not laughing and like to live like I am someone I admire...(or at least try to).
I love simple pleasures in life; food, chocolate, wine, beautiful landscapes, music, being physically challenged, good conversation with great people and random acts of kindness.

in a nutshell: my family is the most important thing to me in the world, I love sports, particularly outdoor ones and think the most important quality in a person is honesty and obviously, kindness.

PHILOSOPHY

favourite quote:
I am only one. But still I am one. I cannot do everything but i can do something. I will not refuse to do the something i can do.

I truly believe one person can make a difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have stayed at a house in Iceland as the hostels are mighty expensive... and have been hooked ever since. will never travel any other way if i can help it. I loved it.

Interests

sports, the outdoors (hiking, climbing, sailing, kayaking, sitting and appreciating), animals, the environment, philosophy, learning, dancing and music. I want to learn another language, cycle around the world on a push bike and own my own home, with a dog and a vege patch
