About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To never miss a beat!

ABOUT ME

I dont believe someone can really say the loved or didnt love a city if they dont experience the people, as well as the attractions and sights. The people are who make the city, and they are who I intend on interacting with. Couchsurfers seems like an amazing way to meet the locals. Even if it is just for a chat.

After boring Uni, I travelled, worked (nanny/bartender), surfed, hosted, and partied my way through Europe and Australia. I am now here in Taiwan and I write, research and develop a website about Taiwan tourism. Hopefully once the Taiwan site is finished, I will just choose the next country.

I also have a website about bartending. Please check it out http://www.Bars-and-Bartending.com

PHILOSOPHY

Learn more, Try more, Fail more

-Reese Richards

"I know nothing, except the fact of my ignorance."

-Socrates

Ths is why I must travel and meet people, also...Life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself

AND MY FAVOURITE LYRICAL QUOTE

'It's here in the smallest bones, the feet and the inner ear, it's such an enormous task, to walk and to listen.'

-The Weakerthans, My Favourite Chords

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I open my doors to anyone stopping by. I've done this in the past, only I had only advertise at our cities YMCA. After hearing about couchsurfer, I have been as active as I can be. I think it's a great idea! What could be better than Offering a traveller some where to stay and getting to know people in the cities of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went couchsurfing in London for the first time and it was a great experience. I met some very socialable blokes who showed me around the city and also stayed with. I also couched surfed in Cork for a few week. I was great getting to know all their friends or flatmates, etc.

Couchsurfed in Greece for a few weeks and also in Dubai on my stop over to Australia. In OZ I hosted people at my apartment as well and got to know other local couchsurfers. I was a great way to make friends, have someone to grab coffee with or catch a wave.

Interests

I love to meet new people and see new places. Im an avid reader (NERD) and am at complete peace when listening to good tunes. I want to hear new music in every city I visit.

I danced competitively until I was 18. Ballet point, modern, and partnering. they are the greatest memories, would love to start back up again for fun. Also have done heaps of yoga training. If interested, I could run us through morning exercises.

I love the OCEAN! wish I was there everyday. love to explore the wilderness. get up high in the mountains. watch an inciteful movie. going out in warm rain. and of course, a lil party.
