About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A keen traveller who has been living, working and exploring different lands for the last 4 years.

ABOUT ME

Hmm, well I guess I am pretty friendly and quite often chat to anyone, maybe sometimes a little too much. I can also be quiet and thoughtful..really depends on my mood.
I have strong opinions, but am open to discussions, and tend to be pretty easy going and straightforward.
I'm creative, I studied Design at university, but I also love music, listening, singing...

I now try to live for the moment and worry less about the unimportant things..and just try to enjoy life..have fun..I do like to party...but I also can be the complete opposite...I like my own time sometimes too..
I think I'm pretty individual, can be a complete idiot at times, and mature..I try not to take things too seriously, but I'm loyal and honest..and friends would say I have my 'quirks' :P but I think that is why they love me! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't stress about the little things. Live life for the moment. Try to be excellent to others..love fully, and try not to have regrets.
Enjoy, experience, learn..make memories and friends. Aspire to more with your life that the obligations that society makes you think you need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment just surfing as I am travelling. But will host one day, when I eventually get back to one place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Heard some stories from my friends who have done it... :)

Interests

I love to travel, I like seeing new things, places...having adventures, meeting new people and having new experiences. I try to take pleasure in everything I can, and be positive about situations and life in general..like I said..I like to live for the moment, but can get very thoughtful about the future. I like to talk, listen...read, learn, enjoy watching music listening to music, festivals, live music, socialising, doing outdoor stuff..basically I will try most things and have too many interests to make myself focus on one thing alone.

I spend alot of time keeping in touch with all my friends, and love making new ones.
I also love languages, though I'm not brilliant at any..yet!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything with a message, Game of Thrones, travel stuff ...love reading anything I can as read too quickly..will give most movies a chance and I love music..a real eclectic taste..have grown up with classical ballet dancing Mum, metal and rock loving Dad..I love pretty much all around and inbetween, there is good music in all genres. Liking a bit of Electro, retro, dubstep, D&B at the moment..dance music some..some mainstream, old stuff, indie...the list goes on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done lots of great things recently..Hmm, when I was out camping in the bush, sleeping gazing up at the stars..which are so vivid without any light pollution.

I saw a shark while snorkeling at Koh Tao in November..that was pretty cool..and had the fishes eating pineapple out of my hands :) The whole island is pretty chilled atmosphere and I saw the phosphorescence as I played around in the water one romantic evening..it was pretty cool having every step sparkle below me with a blanket of stars and the occasional sky-lantern floating above..a lovely evening <3

When I first arrived in New Zealand, seeing the Snow-capped mountains towering over landscape and lakes...a pretty beautiful sight as I caught the bus down. I can't wait to explore the world more...and in general everywhere..I have many more moments, and hope there are still many more to come :)

Live life fully. Make experiences, memories, good friends, love and enjoy. :)
