I'm a happy, down to earth, 19 year old Australian. I grew up in a small alternative community on the east coast of Australia. I spend as much time as possible surrounded by nature; whether I'm by the ocean or trekking the beautiful mountains that South America has to offer. I have finished high school in 2014 and am having an, "año sabatico" to learn from the physical world rather than a text book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Throughout my travels, I have gained experience in various kinds of volunteer work, and learnt that this is by far the nicest way to travel. I really enjoy sharing my travels with locals, allowing me to get to know South America in an authentic way. After travelling more than one year in this wonderful continent, I am finally fluent in spanish. Im keen to improve my spanish , have a good laugh and an insightful conversation over a cup of tea :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most genres of music, some stand out artists are: Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, RHCP, The Cat Empire, Jorge Drexler, Kooii... I especially enjoy sharing artists and finding new music.
I am not a big movie watcher, but I love to read. Similar to my taste in music, I enjoy most genres of books but my preference is fantasy or crime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent two weeks on a small, uninhabited island on the Great Barrier Reef. With a small group we brought our own supplies and fresh water and camped; watching turtles hatch, kayaking and snorkelling daily with an abundance of sea creatures and bird life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE to learn, whatever you have to offer ☺. In return, I can offer classes of yoga (certified teacher), can teach English or German.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Living on a self -sustainable community allows me to share knowledge about this way of life. I also have infinite smiles and stories that I'm most willing to share :-)
