About Me

HOLA AMIGOS!

I am from Sydney (Australia), but am currently jobless and homeless as last year I decided to fulfil my bucket list dream of travelling around South America.

My 2020 vision: find some environmental-based form of work in New Zealand.

I am a nature lover and always ready for an adventure, taking every opportunity to explore, meet new people and experience all that I can on this great planet. 🌱🌻🍂✨ During my travels I like to dive in a bit deeper, getting to really know the land and its people. I am always interested in peoples stories and love a deep talk and good laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I truly believe in this Couchsurfing community and the magic of connecting and sharing with people from completely different walks of life. I enjoy exploring local hidden places not listed on TripAdvisor. The experiences I have had through Couchsurfing and many others at friends and friends of friends' houses, only strengthens my belief in the power of collaborative actions in creating a better world. It's about giving and receiving. Learning and sharing. Being open and grateful.

Interests

Travelling (of course) and anything to do with the ocean, food, gardening, sustainability, and hiking. I am happiest out in the wild.
