ABOUT ME

Fiery redhead would be the best description :) Traveling with my boyfriend Nick we both love the environment and outdoors,people person, playing Ultimate Frisbee and tennis, sharing good food and wine with friends. Boardgames on rainy days can be the best. I spent a year traveling Australia and New Zealand after finishing high school. Seeing and exploring new places and meeting new people will always be a lifelong dream/reality!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time being a fellow couchsurfer. While I was in Australia I meet two German girls who were signed up with CouchSurfing and we managed to get a free ride with a local from Surfers Paradise to Byron Bay in Australia. We spent the day with this awesome local who showed us around Byron Bay. Fun Times!
