About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover the world´s best baklava

ABOUT ME

I´ve just finished uni and am taking time off before I start working to travel.

I have always enjoyed travelling and the outdoors, havıng been involved in Scouts for many years and puttıng on my backpacker shoes to see asia when I just finished highschool.

Now that I have finished study I am keen not to race around the world but really want to experience places, culture and customs.

In terms of work I am excited to be starting a career ın Indıgenous social justice in Sydney in 2011. This has come about from a lifelong passion of ensuring everyone has a fair go.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to travel to experıence and understand other cultures, learn more about the world, and learn more about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am keen to start experiencimg couchsurfing and am also lookıng forward to hosting people when i get back to my flat in Sydney, Australıa

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just new to Couchsurfıng but when I was a teenager my family hosted a number of high school exchange students for 6 to 12 months each of AFS Multicultural exchange. I have really enjoyed livıng with these people and now feel i have family around the world.

Interests

Travelling, seeing the world and seeing places that are a bit off the tourist track.
The outdoors - hikıng, kayaking, being surrounded by the natural environment. I´ve grown up in an area that is surrounded by the Aussie bushland.
