About Me

I love people and having new adventures! I have most recently been working/dancing/creating in Sydney, Australia. My current favourite hobby is scheming about new adventures and finding new songs I can dance Kizomba and Zouk to. I am always up for great wonderful epic conversations, hiking, food missions, dancing wherever there is music (and even when there isn't) and excellent adventures destined to be chaotic. I can cook/clean/edit your essays/do dramatic readings of favorite books/or take your dog/cat/snake for a walk. Can't wait to meet my fellow travel lovers out there! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy the randomness of Couchsurfing, getting to know the place you are travelling in from people who live there and generally meeting awesome people!
I have couch-surfed in Banda Aceh and Pekanbaru in Indonesia and have vicariously traveled while hosting in Christchurch, New Zealand with my old flat/sharehouse "Superhero Dan".
I've been travelling through South America for the last few months and am just embarking on my Brazil adventure - can't wait to meet you all!

Interests

I am forever obsessed with dancing Zouk and Kizomba. I love writing especially poetry and would love to learn how to write songs and raps, facts about bats and any form of crazy movement!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tramped through a Malaysian Jungle without a guide and only a i phone, fireflies and bio-luminescent plants to guide us through the darkness.
