I'm a 26 year old who likes to travel and have a deeper experience by meeting and getting to know locals. I enjoy travelling in unfamiliar places, meeting new people along the way, sharing experiences and helping each other on the way. I'm comfortable living simply and living each day as a new opportunity to grasp.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals in areas where I'm travelling to have an encounter with local life, tradition, culture and food. I love to share as much as possible and to broaden my perspective of the world we live in and share by meeting people from other parts of the globe.

Interests

I love to be outdoors and active, meeting new people and the challenge of a new experience. I love to travel and be outside of everyday routine as I find life quickly boring otherwise. Saying this though, I am not an extremist and I believe in having a good balance in life leads to an approximate feeling of happiness and contentment, so to make the most of the good times while they're there and push through the bad times as long as they endure to get back to where you want to be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am no master in anything, but I try to learn a little bit of everything!
For the past 10 years or so I have had too many endeavors to mention, most of which I realised I had no strong interest in, except for the things that have stuck:
Of those are the things I am maybe of some help with like; Basics in Japanese and Vietnamese, advice for living in those countries to work or teach English and travelling, Assistance in learning or practicing English as I taught English in Vietnam. Also any advice about traveling or Australia I am happy to give, though I am Australian, I wouldn't class myself as a "fair dinkum Aussie" . So please don't expect me to act like Crocodile Dundee!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many experiences I have learned from traveling! Happy to share about Australia, what we have of culture and to relax and enjoy life. I can do basic cooking, and some language experience.
I am quite flexible, easy going and enjoy just chilling out.
