About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a young professional who sits at her desk daydreaming about other places. I'm hoping to make a big trip around America this year and would like to build up some couch karma before I go. I think I'm pretty friendly and easygoing, I love a good chat over a cup of tea or a glass of wine, I'm pretty quick to laugh too - tell me a few good puns and the couch is yours. I like books, music, ideas, breakfast, long runs and whiskey sours.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have one but I believe in treating others as you would like to be treated. Also I believe in taking chances and saying yes to opportunities presented to me,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few times and I've couch surfed once (in Australia funnily enough). I'm looking to couch surf a bit more when I go to America in July.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are a few, but scuba diving a largely intact cruise liner/converted WW2 battle ship in Vanuatu comes to mind

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play piano, but not brilliantly, I'm very enthusiastic about cooking breakfast but have never really gotten further than quinoa porridge.If you can poach an egg without it going all funny in the water I'd like to learn from you.
