About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tucked away in Melbourne for now, training most days so one day I can live the circus dream! Always dreaming of the next place I can travel to.

ABOUT ME

Fun, outgoing, bubbly, up for an adventure, love to try new things, meet new people, experience everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing. I believe it's a great platform for travelers to meet people, hanging with the locals is always the best way!

COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined couch surfing when I was traveling South America hoping to meet some interesting people along my travels, however I didn't end up surfing! Now I'm living Melbourne it's easy to get caught up in the every day and forget those who are living the traveling dream! I have hosted a few times and I've had some good experiences. I did couch surfed a couple of times on my most recent trip overseas and I really enjoyed it, wish I had done it more actually!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Sigur Ros, This Will Destroy You, Seekae, Bon Iver, The XX, Angus and Julia Stone.

I have so many favourite books but a couple that come straight to mind are "The Power of One" by Bryce Courtney, or "A Lucky Child" a memoir by Thomas Buergenthal.

The last movie I watched and really enjoyed was Samsara.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finishing the Inca Trail and exploring Machu Picchu, my experience volunteering in a hogar in Santiago, Chile, worked on cruise ships and traveled the world as a performer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love an opportunity to speak spanish, or learn a new language. I'm happy to skill share, I can teach some dancing or circus. Would love if you could teach me anything I don't know too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sometimes a place to sleep, a spin jam, advice for visiting Melbourne and few other places, a good chat and a laugh.

Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Honduras, Ireland, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, Virgin Islands, U.S.
