About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working out how to fight for a better world and enjoy life at the same time!

ABOUT ME

I'm always interested in meeting new people and talking about languages, politics, food, books, music, animals, poetry....the list goes on.

I would say that I am a fairly easy going person, especially in every day life. I have a strong desire to make the world a better place and try to start with myself...but it's not always easy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We will host when we can, and I'm hoping to travel again later in the year and meet some interesting people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not all of my couchsurfing experience has been over this website, as most of my wonderful surfers back home in Australia were Germans who had my number from a friend of a friend. I have surfed in Italy, Sweden, France, Germany and Denmark and had a really great time.

In general, I have had only good experiences with couchsurfing and hope to host and surf a bit more this year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen many amazing things! At the moment I am particularly enjoying watching the landscape outside my window (a huge park which used to be an airport) change with the seasons. Coming from Australia, I never used to appreciate how nice it can be to have 4 different seasons. Berlin is a wonderful city, it's great to live here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning about different ways to live life, different kinds of relationships that people have with each other, different experiences people have had.

I also enjoy learning musical instruments, and listening to new music, as well as being told about new things to read, see, do.....

Sharing is important. I particularly enjoy cooking and sharing food, and would be happy if you were keen to do this too!
