About Me

I left my job to travel the world to broaden my perspective on life, challenge my ignorance and surpass my own limitations. I am fascinated by new cultures, food and experiences. I am very respectful of your place and will look after it as if it was my own home :)

QUOTES
"If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind." Kahlil Gibran

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To really understand a country, I believe that you need to get to know and understand the people.

My fondest travel memories have been those that I have shared with local people and new travel companions. Swapping stories, life experiences, enjoying the delectable local cuisine together :).

Interests

I love Vinyassa Yoga. A moving meditation to some chilled beats, what more could you ask for?
I love ninja training. I used to do Tae Kwon Do, Ninjitsu, Krav Maga and Eskrima. Kiiiiiiia (that's a martial art noise by the way, makes me look heaps tougher).
I love dancing. Whether it be dancing like a lunatic, partner dancing salsa/meringue or dancing in the aisles of the shopping mall, it doesn't matter :)

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES
I love watching movies/documentaries/TV series. Here are just a few of my favourites:
Grave of the Fireflies
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
The Intouchables
Momento
Gattaca

BOOKS
I'm more of a visual person so I prefer movies to books :) Nonetheless, these are some of my favourites:
Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl
Open: Autobiography - Andre Agassi
The Prophet - Kahlil Gibran
The Neverending Story - Michael Ende

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drinking tea at Kolukkumalai, the highest tea plantation in the world. It was some of the most amazing tea I have ever tasted and the drive up was absolutely breathtaking! There is something about the mountain air and scenic landscapes that brings me great peace and joy :)

For the most part, I prefer smiling dorkily at strangers on the street, sitting in parks and watching leaves fall and exploring supermarkets in all different countries (they are like my Disney land :D). The world is a beautiful place, we just need to take a moment to revel in it :)
