Hi, my name is Monique.
I'm friendly, love people, chilling out and getting to know people and their own unique way of seeing the world. Some say I can be a little quiet at first, but that's only because I love to listen.
I am Australian and I have lived on a small island by the sea, so I love to be amongst nature whenever I can be. Currently learning more yoga and meditation. For most of this life, I have only wanted to do one thing and that is travel and see the world for what it really is and make my own mind up about things and obviously, make the peoples lives that I come into a better life. :) I believe that by travelling and getting to know different people it adds something special to the spirit of the world.
I am full of love and fun, just let me show you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

''I feel like I've been in a coma and I'm just waking up"

I want to expand my knowledge of different cultures.
You can truly learn things about people when you live with them, so what better way to expand my knowledge of the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have such a wide variety of music taste. to name a few: the doors, connan mockasin, mac demarco, gta soundtrack, pulp fiction soundtrack, sabbath, james blake, radiohead, ariel pink, homeshake, massive attack, amy winehouse, the animals... and many more. just ask and we'll have a music sharing sesh. one of my favourite things to do in the world.

Again, I will watch anything but in particular, I love Quentin Tarantino films and anything that is visually stimulating and makes you laugh or think loads.

Teach, Learn, Share

My main ideal of life is that knowledge is power, so by meeting people and understanding life through their eyes is a pretty satisfying way to do that.

I'd love to learn anything and everything people have to offer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a qualified massage therapist, so I'd love to share that with you if you'd like!
