About Me

CURRENT MISSION

So many countries, so little time!

ABOUT ME

I love to learn new things and connect and interact with the world and the people around me. I've been travelling intermittently for the last 10 years and worked in quite a variety of fields.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh often, live big!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted about 20 people when I was living in Australia and I've surfed with a few people in New York, San Francisco and Chicago. Love it!

Interests

Music is one of my greatest loves.. I write, sing and play guitar which I take with me on my travels or when I'm at home. Dance is another, at the moment I've been inspired by the styles from the 20s and 30s - Lindy hop, swing and blues. I have been involved in contempory, african and latin dancing as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've swum close to a 6 metre long whale shark off the Western Australian coast. That is still the most amazing experience of my life so far. Creatures of the deep come to visit the surface for such a short time. What a privilege!

** newly added - burning man in Black Rock city is the most amazing festival experience I've ever had... informing, transforming, extraordinary...
