About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am young and i like to think big! I am more than willing to go on the odd adventure (or ten). I love to learn.Last year I found out that it is illegal to import flamingos into Australia (shame....)I will probably spend the rest of my life trying to discover what i would like to do for the rest of my life.So far I have done some pretty cool things (getting a degree is not yet on the list, but im getting there!)A couple of months ago I got on my bike and rode from up North to the South of France for Charity.This year im planning to stay in Australia (probably wont happen) and get my studies over and done with...FINALLY. even though I just want to continue travelling and making new experiences around the world...and meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Never give up a good chance at doing something new (as long as it doesn't involve danger!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cant explain how helpful CS has been! It has helped me alot with my travels, finding out information if needed and of course the people you meet and the stories you hear are just unbelievable! Even in emergency situations CS is great! I really appreciate how people are so enthusiastic about sharing information and helping one another, and of course I would be more than happy to do so in any situation I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some lovely people staying with me in Australia, and really became close friends with a lot of them! I have used CS alot when travelling and as a result I have met kind people, exchanged stories, music, food, information and have had a great time in general :)Couch surfing is the most amazing community of people, more people need to know about it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had the opportunity to become the god mother of a child whose mother I met while travelling in Puyo, Ecuador. Even though I couldn't speak much Spanish and she didn't know any English, we got along so well and have done our best to keep in touch ever since.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning a language is the key to unlocking a country

Treat others how you wish to be treated yourself
