CURRENT MISSION

Meet as many different people as possible from all over and to share my experiences from home and travel with whoever is interested

ABOUT ME

I'm a student from Australia who is studying Spanish literature for a semester in Madrid from January to May 2014. I have a passion for travel, literature, writing, trekking, conversation, humour, social justice and an interest in all people.

PHILOSOPHY

Working on that

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm here to share my enthusiasm for different cultures and people through any means possible. I love hearing about and seeing all the different ways people go about there lives, and when i get the chance, sharing a bit of my own experiences with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only met fascinating people and had enrichening experiences, I hope it continues

Interests

I love books and reading and new ideas and philosophies that get me thinking. I like to write as well. I love outdoors things like mountains, deserts, beaches and hiking, camping, festivals and swimming and everything between.
I enjoy being fit - even though I've neglected it a little recently - and run and do yoga. I love food and various forms of dance and all types of music. I have already done a law and history degree and am now doing Spanish literature honours. I'm most interested in people and like to talk but prefer to listen and learn.

Teach, Learn, Share

And when old words die out on the tongue,
new melodies break forth from the heart;
and where the old tracks are lost,
new country is revealed with its wonders.
