About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore my own backyard

ABOUT ME

I have an honest, open, friendly personality and I'm pretty flexible and easy going.

I work doing environmental education part time and project management the rest of the time. The environmental education work is with youth and assisting them to implement sustainability ideas in Canberra.

Interacting with people is one of my favourite things to do. I love finding out all about people, what's important to them and what they've done. That's definitely part of the couch surfing fun.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to experience as much as I can. I try to live in the moment as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really enjoying soul/funk/jazz. Listen to most things from roots, drum and base, soul, classical, roots, hip hop. I love reading and will generally read anything but mostly enjoy science fiction/fantasy and classic literature and love things like Harry Potter too. I have such ecclectic tastes in most things that I find it really hard to have favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled Australia with the science circus, going to some of the most remote locations in Australia, including into Arnhem Land. Traveled India for a bit by myself - it felt like an advanced course at the university of life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share hugs anytime! I know as a lone traveller you can totally miss out on hugs.

I can teach and share a wide variety of skills and knowledge. Some are: living a sustainable lifestyle, making and spinning poi, meditation, reiki. I can also share some of my favourite spots in Canberra.

I'm willing to learn nearly anything you may want to teach me.

Countries I’ve Visited
