Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see as much as possible with my own eyes and not that on a computer screen, TV screen, Magazine or other :) meet interesting people who want to talk about experiences.
ABOUT ME
Jan 2017 - At the moment I am based in the western Suburbs of Sydney. I have a 1 year working visa and I'm looking to stay. Looking to meet friends but can't host at this time as I'm staying with friends.
I'm a British girl who's 31. Non smoker but likes a drink. (😐 I don't mean to be rude but this is not a dating app so please do not contact me if you are not a genuine person interested in travel and meeting new people.)
In October 2011 I decided I would up-sticks and leave the UK on my own for Thailand in search of a new career and a new adventure. I was away 2 years, returned to the UK. Stayed there 2 years and now I'm off again....lets just say I get the 2 itch! I was a Visual Arts Tutor at a college in the UK, before working as a Nanny and most recently for in NZ till 2016. Now Aus.
I've been fortunate to have met some amazing life long friends over the years from all around the globe and I am hoping that by couch surfing there will be opportunities to continue doing
In 2015 I surfed with James in Myanmar, Gerard in BKK. I had a day out with David in Hanoi, and I left Lisa in Melbourne.
PHILOSOPHY
I want to see everything with my own eye balls and not just on a TV screen, computer, photograph or other. And I want to meet people with interesting stories who can give me good travel recommendations while I buy them wine.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
It's all about meeting new people and experiencing something different. It's not about hotels...the only thing you get there is a free soap. I want people, stories and memories. I'm up for a beer but at the moment I am travelling and so can't host.
