I love to chat while morning or afternoon tea-ing. I generally don't go out to bars or clubs (only because it's usually too loud for me to have a good conversation - I still like beer and wine!), and am also plant-based. I'm chasing that nervous feeling you get when doing something beyond your comfort zone - that's when you're growing as a person. Currently I am in the mindset that I can do anything, literally anything, I set my will to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because going to a new place and not spending time with a local is like not even experiencing that new place!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked for 3 months on the hot and dry Nullarbor coast of Australia counting tuna from a 4-seater plane, with crazy (mostly just weird) outback Australians as workmates.

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, life is about maximising the quality and quantity of my personal experiences, and it's a pretty well known idea that it's the people you meet that have the greatest influence on you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always a yes to trying new things! Plus I usually bring some "thing" to share with my host.
