About Me

I've been travelling the world for about seven months now--quit my job at a local magazine to see as much of this incredible planet as I can manage before the savings run out! It's been an incredible experience, I've learnt so much about the world and about myself, and I've loved meeting all different types of people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thought it would be a great way to meet like-minded people who could show me a local's perspective of their towns. And save a little cash at the same time! :D

Interests

Writing, surfing (anything beach!), music, travel, theatre, art, politics, horse riding, animals.
