CURRENT MISSION

South America is my next travel misson

ABOUT ME

I have been a vegetarian since I was 3, and dedicate my life to animals. I turned my adventures globally in 2006. I had the opportunity to travel around the world for an a year, living in a hostel in the Melbourne CBD for 6 months, and volunteering with animals throughout Australia, New Zealand and Thialand! I am currently completing a Master in Landscape Architecture to push forward environmental initiatives.

PHILOSOPHY

I live by the idea of freedom and stay minimally committed to places and material things so that I can experience new places. I am very dedicated to people, primarily maintaining a travel lifestyle to stay connected with all of my global friends.
I have always cared deeply about the environment and will continue to dedicate my life to maintaining other animals lives. I work very hard in school and the job world, to leave time for adventure! I think it is very important to live in the present!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very keen and supportive of couchsurfing, for all of the traveling I do I am well against being a tourist, much more interested in visiting a place to learn about the culture and befriend locals! Otherwise, what really is the point??
