About Me

I'm a huge dreamer with itchy feet. Ever since I got a taste of traveling and exploring other countries, I haven't been able to stop!

My goal is to simply live, be happy and experience as much as I can. Last year, I spent the year living out one of my greatest dreams, which was to travel South America. I had an incredible year meeting the kindest and most generous people that I have ever met, learning Spanish and a little bit of Portuguese and embracing the different cultures of each country as much as I could.

I'm proud to say that I got to experience most of South America and definitely had a lot of "first time" experiences; whether that was hitchhiking and sleeping behind a petrol station with friends to snorkelling with a hammerhead shark.

My most favourite expression from South America is "Todo es posible!" I continue to carry this expression with me as I plan on my next trip.

I love meeting new people and creating new friendships and am always ready to try something at least once!

For me, life is an amazing adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Couchsurfing, simply because I have met some of the nicest, most interesting, craziest and sweetest people.

I love how generous Couchsurfers are in sharing their home, their town, their language and their stories.

Interests

I studied Media Arts Production at uni and love cinema, world movies, learning different languages, photography, reading, blogging about social goodness and the environment! And of course, I love travelling, meeting new people and getting to know different cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Inspired by the movie 'Up,' I headed to Venezuela to discover Canaima in person. We trekked up to and camped on top of Mount Roraima, which is a different world altogether! The trip took six days and is one of the best things I have ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love photography, video-making, video editing and writing. However, I'm continuing to learn and improve as I go! I love blogging and have a blog called Project Seeds, where I share anything green or about social goodness.

I also love learning new words in different languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love exchanging stories over a good meal with a few drinks!
