CURRENT MISSION

To live life, to experience live, to find out about myself

ABOUT ME

I have a flair for adventures though timid with heights.
I love the sound of latino music, any salsa, bachata or regaetton will get my hips rocking.
I have lived in Perth for the last 9 years and now is time to move on, UK here I come!
I like meeting people and share travel stories, my stories get better after a few gin and tonic too.
I believe in yoga philosophy and Buddhism and aspire to be a yoga teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

You do not bring anything into this earth when you were born, you cannot take anything from this earth with you when you die. Material stuff can only give temporary happiness. Greed is never fulfilled. Happiness is created when you help someone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS before I started my 1 year round the world trip 1st Sept 08. When i was in Chile, Valparaiso I met my first member of CS in a bookshop. Hannah introduced me to a local CS and that was where I started couchsurfing. Since then, i have stayed in many places, many countries and hosted a few people myself whilst I was living in Barcelona for 4 months recently.

Latin Music makes me very happy, i love salsa and yes, reagaeton and blues and roots kind of music.. dunno, i have no fixed perimetres for music, as long as i like the sound of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I conquered Mt. Fuji last weekend, in August. We started 9p.m at night and I took only 3.5 hours to reach the summit. After my climb in Pucon, Chile and Huaraz, Peru, Mt. Fuji was a piece of cake. We waited 5 hours at near 0 degrees for the sunrise and it was well worth it as sth to wrap up the end of my one year journey.

I did a 4 days trekking on the Santa Cruz trek in Huaraz, Lima. We had no donkeys or guides, just good company and friendship. The experience was amazing, the views of the snow capped mountains when we wake up from our tent and the fresh cold mountain air all takes my breath away.
