About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get the party bug out of my system, I'm taking a break from uni before I start studying for another 4 years. I'm currently traveling Europe hoping to meet some great people to travel with along the way and form some lasting friendships.

ABOUT ME

I have never couch surfed before so I'm a bit new to it all! I love traveling, a few of my favourite places are Japan, Nepal and Canada. I live on a small farm so love animals, Iv just finished university in Australia and now I'm taking a gap year and hoping that next year I'll get into medicine!

Back home I lifeguard and teach swimming. I am an 'Aussie beach bum,' I like to party regularly and love my sport.

I'm back packing right now and am keen to meet some new sweet chilled mates!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest
You can sleep when your dead

Interests

Back in Australia I'm a lifeguard and swimming teacher. I love the beach, surf and snow.
I usually do lots of sport, I like to keep it extreme, running (marathons), skiing (snow and water), swimming (for Australia), Bikram yoga (the sweaty one) and skate boarding. Iv been a bit slack since traveling though, so if you like jogging id love some motivation to come with you on a run or swim!
I love a good party, I mean I really love a party...but chilled chats are also awesome with a beer or wine, or both.
I'm fairly outgoing and find I get along with most people, you can never have too many friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

I read avidly, I listen to all music everything from rock to techno.
Favourite bands include the wombats, avici, the killers, bloc party, Tiësto, empire of the sun... To name a few.
I'm a fan of comedy movies but love a good action or thriller too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Nepal and climbed to the mt Everest base camp +5000 meters above sea level.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm want to try and pick up as many new words and phrases as I can, and in return I can teach you some Australian sayings. I'm very laid back and relaxed, I love a good chat or a crazy party, all people are different!

I can't host now obviously as I'm traveling but when I get my own place I'm sure I'll be keen to open my doors to some cool cats.
