I'm a part Aussie, part Dutchy, living in the vibrant city of Melbourne. I consider myself a traveller and thrive off of exploring and experiencing the world around me. When at home in Melbourne, I work as a primary school teacher and when on the go, I like to hitchhike, ask many questions and see the world through the eyes of others. On any given day you might catch me singing old classics, meditating, talking to someone about food, staring at the flowers in bloom, smiling at the rain or sunshine or making the most of living in the city. I like busy things and I like quiet things. I like being surrounded by people and I also like spending time by myself. I feel energised by conversations with new friends or old friends but would happily sit quietly and share a moment with someone too.

I guess the best way to find out about me it to meet me :) and maybe in the process we'll both find out more about ourselves and each other and this wacky world we live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think we are all on this earth just figuring it out as we go, perfectly entwined in each others stories. You find people you get along with, you see them again, you call them friends, and so on. Its a crazy, rollercoaster of beautiful moments, shared spaces and a shared world. How cool it is to reach out through a medium like this one and find others, occupying a different space, with a whole other outlook on life. Or, maybe even find someone with a similar outlook and have a chat about that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Protecting turtle eggs and hatchlings from poaching and predators to increase numbers in the South China Sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of yoga, share philosophical learnings and learn.. whatever there is on offer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some hot spots in Melbourne, things that I have learned along the way as a traveller. The stories and conversations will be unique to each couchsurfer I meet. But at the very least, an eager eye and ear to learn and hear about new things, travel stories, a smile and a good laugh :)
