Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Sabbatical. Or just a bunch of looking at stuff around the world.
ABOUT ME
Fresh back from my 2013 overseas, I'd be happy to show Melbourne to you if you like. No couch at this stage though sorry!
Done a bunch of study and travel and work. Heading back to uni in March 2014 to start my masters of nursing.
I've realised that I love Australia and I'm so blessed to have been raised here, but there is still so much of the world I need to see! Next time, I'm going back to Central America, as I had so much fun there the first time.
When I grow up, I see myself having some adventurous job, living in a cute house and having an amazing permaculture garden, complete with veges and chooks, a big dog and a studio where I can pursue all my silly half-hearted projects.
PHILOSOPHY
To put myself out there. I'm prone to being a hermit. So I really need to get over that.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Did a lot of surfing while I was away (through this site and not), and am now hoping to repay the favour as I met some amazing and generous people who helped me out so much.
Melbourne is amazing- let me show you!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Stayed with quite a few people now (USA, Canada, UK, all over Europe). Made some lifelong friends from it too!
Biggest thing is to feel confident from a person's profile before meeting them.
Some people are odd. That is all...
Interests
I love music, board games, stories, camping, pretty pictures, growing food I can eat, animals, educating myself, eating awesome food, drinking beers, hanging out with funny people, hanging out with clever people, trying to be creative, philosophising.
