About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live Life outside of my comfort zone

ABOUT ME

I can be the life of the party. I like to cook and experiment even when it doesn't quite work out :-)
I like to drink socially and make amazing cocktails. A nice glass of wine after a shitty day on my balcony is nice too. My favourite drink is lime margarita. I like trying all kinds of food I just joined a secret society called 'secret supper'. Great for foodies.
Crazy about boardgames especially the ones that involve teams.
Travel - doh obviously. My next big challenge is the 7day trek to machu picchu in Peru. I have to go to the gym to make that happen.
I live w 1 flatmate on the north side of brisbane, near the train station.

PHILOSOPHY

uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security. John Allen Paulos

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Attend the weekly CS meetings and organised activities but mostly I organise memorable events that have people talking about them for weeks to come :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had two couch surfers so far.

I have fallen asleep many times on my couch and my friends couches, does that count?

I had a girls slumber party and they slept on my couches?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving in the maldives

standing at my grandad's grave on a snowy xmas day and my wish for it to start snowing again on x mas day happened at that precise moment.

Dance walking in singapore flash mob style

Girls slumber party at my place w an x factor

Dancing under the stars with an amazing view on a rooftop building with great friends - there's nothing better.

snorkelling on an island off langkawi with another backpacker, we were underwater chasing a large shadow to see what it was, then we both turn around while still under water and there it was the biggest friggin' baracuda you can imagine staring right at us about 2 metres away. we screamed so loud underwater I'm sure the people above us could hear us. scary fish that one.

Teach, Learn, Share

those that are fearless, courageous people that will try things even when their unsure or afraid - that have a positive outlook on life. realise they're lucky in someway to be where they are right now. pranksters, people who make me laugh and not afraid to poke fun and throw some sarcasm at me.
Successful entrepreneurs - I could learn so much.
How to drink jagerbombs buwahaha - seriously how do you do that? It was so hard and messy
People with an interesting job, trade, hobby
