Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live like every day is my last.. Cliche, but true.. I want adventure.
ABOUT ME
I have been an assistant teacher for over 3 years and decided to take a year off as an AU Pair to learn some new things, see some new land, and meet some awesome people...
PHILOSOPHY
I have a million...
Be yourself, those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
Do not travel where the path leads, instead, make your own path, and leave a trail.
Every day in life is a gift, that's why yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future, and today is the present.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Share your home with me and I can cook a few meals, share some stories and laughs and hopefully by the end of my stay, you'll have new memories (depending on how much you drink), a place to crash in AUS if you ever visit, and some insight into an Aussie culture.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have surfed at 3 different places, and spent a day with a host also.. I am still in contact with everyone, even the surfers I met during my stay.. I love it, I think it's a fantastic way to make connections around the world and learn about other cultures. Every new person I meet has a new story to tell that inspires me in some way. I tell everyone they should do it.
Interests
I love adventure!!!! Hiking, climbing, running, sports, fishing, swimming, exploring, jumping, laughing, dancing, anything that gets me outdoors. Down time = reading/writting, playing/listening to music, and dreaming.
