Overview
About Me
If you love animals then I like you!
I am from Sydney and have spent most of my life in suburbia until my recent move to hipsterville i.e. the inner west. I am currently working full-time for the national parks service. I studied environmental science at uni and love being outside, hiking, watching animals in the wild, climbing mountains.. etc. and I wish I did this stuff more often. I love travelling and meeting new people. Last year I lived in Mauritius and then travelled in Madagascar and Africa, previous to that I have done the Europe and South-East Asia gap thing and loved every moment.
My dream is to one day live in a tree house.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have travelled quite a bit and I have been so overwhelmed with people's generosity and spirit who open up their homes to me. BUT I haven't couchsurfed, I usually end up staying with people from local villages who I meet in the street or just nice people I meet on the bus. Most would be mortified at the prospect of me couchsurfing. "Its too dangerous! You stay with me!" And that's the cycle. Ironic.
Interests
