I'm a 25 year old girl from Sydney City. I'm pretty relaxed, love to chill in the sun and go to the beach and chat about matters of life with a beer, as well as party I guess you could say. Although I love to chill, I hate being lazy and I'm always down to have a good time and explore. I spent last year travelling and couch surfing through the US which was a dream, and then moved to London for about 6 months which was a nightmare because the sun doesn't seem to exist there.

Right now I'm travelling and eating my way through Greece and the Baltics, feelin' fine in the sunshine. Keen to get couchsurfing again though as it was so rewarding in my travels last year.

I live my life to squeeze as much juice out of the tree of happiness as possible, and hope to provide the same experience for others while I'm at it. I try to see the best in everyone I meet, and believe in kindness, truth and compassion above all (cheesy). I love all animals, and will cry if I spend any time with a pig.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never hosted people officially, but have spent many months with 2 Californian hippies living on my couch. They were well fed, well showered, kept highly amused and just generally well taken care of! They came to Sydney with like $100 and ended up staying for a year with us.

Surfing well is a two way street I always say. Always. Teach me new things! I love meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made it to 25 and played the life game without losing too many marbles.

Teach, Learn, Share

“Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives... and to the "good life", whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.”

What I Can Share with Hosts

A shoulder to cry on, a gnarly stir fry, many laughters, comparisons of movie soundtracks.
