CURRENT MISSION

To explore new places and cultures

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about exploring the world and experiencing as many new things as I can! I love meeting new people and hearing their stories and learning from their experiences. I love learning languages so I can try and immerse myself in the culture as much as I can. Food is a big part of my life and one of my favourite parts of travelling is trying as many local dishes as I am able!

PHILOSOPHY

Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit...e.e cummings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed a couple of times in Mexico when I was studying there for 6 months last year. All of my experiences were hugely positive, my hosts were very friendly and shared with me local knowledge such as where to find the best tacos and cantinas! I have just got back to Sydney and am keen to host, before I go to New York in June.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many! Last year I spent nine months travelling around Latin America and Mexico (where I studied for 6 months). Highlights included trekking in Peru, music in Cuba, beaches in Brazil and Belize, food in Buenos Aires (and Mexico!). I love the textiles from southern Mexico and Guatemala.
I lived in France for a year where my passion for pastries, cheese and wine increased exponentially.
Luang Prubang in Laos and the Kimberley region in Australia are two of my favourite places in the world.
