The mission section of this profile when I started it was: Take it all in. I guess that hasn't changed!

I think maybe, if I was a cat, curiosity might kill me. I'd like to think I've been gifted a genetic sense of humour. I very much enjoy people. People are amazing. I love the absurdities and coincidences of everyday life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People = culture, and there is no better introduction to the culture of a place than through someone living there. Bit-by-bit, couchsurfers are restoring my faith in humanity. Both as a host and as a surfer. I've met some incredible people through this platform!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to make origami paper boats, or the Melbourne Shuffle, or to knit, or how to use a camera, or some different theories on how people learn, or how to crochet a square, or how to confuse people on tinder, or how to do a fishtail braid? Do you want to learn any of those things?

I want to learn new languages, learn about new cultures, learn new dance moves, sing new songs.
