About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn people's stories

ABOUT ME

I am a very happy person, it takes a lot to bring me down. I like to make the most of any situation and look on the bright side. I frequently laugh at my own, often unfunny jokes, and I try to keep a smile on.

Sometimes I like to have some quiet time but mainly I like getting out and having fun! I am happiest when I am experiencing great new things or with a bunch of good people so Couch Surfing seems like the path to happiness for me!

PHILOSOPHY

You only get out of life what you put in. Hard work pays off and good deeds always come around again. Listen to your heart and trust your gut instinct!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed some couches during my year as an exchange student in France, and now things are quiet on the CS front back home in Adelaide. I plan to travel again next year so I am going to be very nicely asking for people to host me and allow the great wheel of Karma to work its magic. When I finally settle somewhere I'd love to have people come stay with me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited but growing - I have been to local meetings and met some CSers staying with friends. I have also met more CSers whilst on my travels and stayed with a few people along the way this year. Can't wait to meet more Couch Surfers before I have to go home in January!

Interests

Travel, photography, food, wine, music - all the regular stuff. I love a good conversation about anything, people who can laugh and make me laugh. I love Scandinavian design, French cheese and Spanish weather.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did an Open Water Scuba Diving course in Malta and I saw a whole new world under the ocean... it was really amazing to breathe underwater and watch jellyfish, octopus and fish all swimming around me!
