About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm grateful for the opportunity to travel!

ABOUT ME

There is one side of my personality that would like to be a gypsy and travel the world exploring other cultures and meeting new people. The other part of me is passionate about education, learning about cultures and other languages.

PHILOSOPHY

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go" Oh, the places you'll go! Mr Seuss

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking for hosts at this time. However, I'm open to being a host in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to the Couchsurfing experience. I'm interested in Couchsurfing to live within the culture that I'm visiting. I am seeking Couchsurfing in the Mediterranean (including Italy, France, Greece and Turkey) In the future I would like to visit Amsterdam, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Egypt, Dubai, Morocco, Jordan, Peru, New Zealand, Thailand, Hawaii, Canada...the list is never ending as I have the travelling 'bug'.

Interests

I thrive on travelling in Europe, The Mediterranean, New Zealand and within Australia as travel provides opportunities for adventure, culture, learning languages and meeting new friends.
