ABOUT ME

I am Australian, but have grown up all over the world. I love to travel and learn more about other people's cultures and especially languages. I am a language enthusiast, and love to learn as much of the local language as I can while I'm in a country.
I am a singer and music enthusiast. I love to listen to jazz, soul, reggae, funk, blues and many other types of music and I sing mainly Baroque, Renaissance and Medieval music.
I also love food! (good food) and don't like eating bad food. Whenever I travel i try the local delicacies..
I love the sun and the surf too...

Interesting how we define ourselves by what we like doing...?

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to say I take everything as it comes even if sometimes that's not true. I believe in equality and personal/cultural freedom.
I live my life to learn and experience this beautiful world.

My favourite quote is quite simple .'Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.' - Thomas Jefferson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couch surfed in israel, morocco and portugal and have had people to stay in Sevilla and in Sydney, always had a great time. I think it's so great that there is an interdependent system where people can teach each other about their homes and cultures!

PS. I am sorry I haven't replied to so many requests!!! I only saw them recently and never received emails telling me about them :(
