Hey I'm Mea, I'm from Australia and have recently started traveling around South America! My friend Tina and I have been traveling for 3 months now and only just got into this so we are very new! This trip has been a dream for so long and now that's it's actually happening I could not be happier! I love traveling, learning about new cultures and just getting to know a place really well. I like to think that I am responsible but I'm always the first to say "one drink won't hurt" and always seem to be the one dancing like a lunatic on the dance floor, sometimes on my own. Now when Tina (my travel buddy) and I are together, one drink generally turns into a massive night with us staggering home at 8am in the morning just in time for breakfast. On the flip side a night in with wine, cheese and movies, I find just as enjoyable!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends recommend it to me so I thought I would give it try. I know it's a great way to meet locals and get another perspective of new places. I just love meeting new people and getting to know a new a city. Also locals always know the best places to go out and eat!

Interests

I love the beach! I feel at home when I'm on the beach reading my book and swimming all day, add a coffee to that and I swear nothing could be better.
Music and a night out is also one of my favourite things to do. Just letting go and not having to worry about anything especially at festivals is an amazing feeling.
I get lost in my books, reading is something I do to get away and relax. When I'm really into a book nothing else gets through, my friends always say it's unless to even try and talk to me because I don't notice their presence.
Most of all I absolutely love spending time with my friends, be it over coffee, a night out or dinner at home with too much wine and lost of laughs.
AlsoI love sport, watching any sport I always find entertaining....with the exception of lawn bowls, can't seem to get behind that one.......
Lastly coffee. It is my addiction and a massive part of my life. Every morning if I don't have one I feel incomplete! My friends will be the first to say I'm obsessed and also always on the hunt for a good cup of coffee. If there is one to be found I will find it or at least I'll drag Tina all around South America to do so 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job and started traveling indefinitely!
Just did the Salkantay trek! One of the hardest things I've done to date.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some funny and stupid stories and whole bunch of laughter.
I can teach you how to dance like me aka with no care as to how people my judge you!
I would love to learn about you and what you have to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can offer is easy conversation, heaps of stupid travel stories and lots of laughs. I have a tendency to just say the first thing that comes to my mind no matter how dumb it is and I seem to always have my friends in hysterics! I also love to cook so if you'd let me I'll try and make something edible😝
