About Me

Currently on a two year long mission in Vietnam.

Daring to create my best life, the life that I dreamt of when I was eight years old: travel, explore, make interesting friends, have a cute house..

LIFE PHILOSOPHY:

L’empathie c’est ce qu’il nous faut.

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS:

La danse.

Find the ecstatic within yourself. Live it. Be it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With the belief that humans are fundamentally good and that the world is much less scary than what we're led to believe, I approach the couch surfing community with an open, optimistic attitude, always ready to share stories and smiles.

Occasionally I'll be able to host (YAYAYAY!) so for all you crazy people out there who think you'd be an awesome guest at my place, send me a request saying why !!

Also, if you're sending me a requests, references aren't necessary per se (but they are helpful nonetheless) HOWEVER I would appreciate it if you write me a six page essay - no, only joking ! All I ask is a well filled out profile and a decent message :o capisci ?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Left 30+ degree days in Australia for temperatures barely above zero to explore Europe at the start of 2015. Frozen toes aside, every time I think of the people I met - those who took the time to show me around, share with me their cities and their homes - my eyes go all dreamy and my breathing shallows and my heart swells. Oh so cliché, but it's the truth: 'twas truly an unforgettable experience (one I'll tell the grandkids hehe)

Interests

These days you'll catch me dancing in between classes, in train carriages, at bus stops and through supermarket aisles.

Reading, questioning, conversing. Always down for sharing ideas, debating, philosophizing :D

  • literature
  • salsa dancing
  • cooking
  • history
  • languages
  • restaurants

Music, Movies, and Books

Jules et Jim - François Truffaut (Kathe, need I say more? pure gold)

Not a fan of musicals, but Bob Fosse's Cabaret is just divine (Sally Bowles *gasp* for those who enjoy analyzing people, what would you say about my adoration for these types of heroines?)

As for music - anything goes (especially if I can dance to it)
Usually on my playlist are salsa songs, pop, zouk and jazzy/hip hop (real chill, real eargasmic)

Still on the lookout for mind-altering, opinion changing books...any suggestions, feel free to send them my way :) my most recent loves:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kasey

Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami

Currently reading: Laëtitia o el fin de los hombres

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm living the life of my dreams - these my friends, are the good old days, the glorious past that we shall look back and reminisce upon

Learnt to ride a motorbike in Vietnam... watch this space !

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's get confused parlando lingue diverse: español, tiếng việt, ou français :D

Interested in learning salsa/bachata ? I can show you the basics :)
And I'm definitely interested in learning other styles of dance too ! (Hello, FORRÓ)

For those interested in coming to HCMC (or even to my hometown, Melbourne), send me a message and I can share with you places to go and things to do you won't find in your Lonely Planet guide!
