Hello
My name is Paula. I am an explorer ; I have decided to quit my job to accomplish a sailing trip around the world. I crossed the Pacific Ocean on a sailboat as a crew, and now I am planning to stay for a while in Australia to discover this beautiful place! 

I would like to discover the area, the people and local culture. I would be happy to share life experience / boat / culture / any / stories 😁

I practice a lot of sports; I love trails, hiking, climbing, mountain biking and I'm a triathlete 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️. Sustainable development and ecology are subjects that are close to my heart. This is why I decided to make this trip by sea and not by plane.

I try to stay in accordance with my principles (I don't eat meat). The adjectives that fit me best are spontaneous and very curious!

See you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love discovering new places and meeting new people, and I think couchsurfing is a great way of meeting people who know the best places to stay but who also like to share.
