About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently travelling around Eastern Europe and loving it! My mission is to meet people from the countries I'm visiting to get a better insight into the cultures and lifestyles of this area of the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 30 year old Australian who loves to travel (obviously!). I have been living in London for two years and am now on a three month trip through Eastern Europe on my way back to Australia. I'm then planning to move to Canada mid 2012. I am just your usual sort of laid back Aussie, love meeting new people and having a laugh. Food, wine and dancing are my other passions. Highlights of my life so far have been swimming with hump back whales in Tonga, dog sledding in Norway and living in Buenos Aires during a 10 month stint in South America, getting right into salsa and tango dancing, not to mention the steaks and Malbec wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just new to CS and am keen to try surfing in Eastern Europe this summer. I will be available to host later this year and the first half of next year in Australia, and then I anticipate I'll be able to again 2012/2013 once I get settled in Canada.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as yet but keen as mustard to try!

Interests

Food, wine, dancing, music, walking, reading (especially historical fiction), just the usual stuff really. Of course travelling is number one!
