About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cook until the pot boils over and then throw in the apron and become a dancer en l'air!

ABOUT ME

I'm an female Aussie, whom is very competitive and loves to laugh! I live currently in Sydney, working as an oyster opener, however I love to dance and in any free time I have you will find me in a studio or park somewhere dancing! I had dreadlocks for 4 years! Love circus arts and teach aerial silks, flying trapeze and lyra! One day soon I shall travel the world dancing, perhaps on the ground perhaps in the air!

PHILOSOPHY

Are you ready for this?
I am put here for one purpose, to worship God!
But to do that means doing some outrageous stuff! Pushing my comfort zones and going where ever I'm called!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in two places whilst in Egypt, organised by my cousin who is a regular couchsurfer, One in Cairo and the other Alexandria! Both fantastic lovely people! Then myself and a friend stayed in Toulouse with Ben and had a fantastic time!! Surfed in Bordeaux and had an amazing 5 days!!! And a brief but fun surf in London! I've joined the site as I can see how much fun going to a new city or country can be!

Interests

Dancing, no matter the style!
Jesus, yes I'm one of those Christians,
Fire poi, spinning is so wonderful to watch :)
Silks/tissu/fabric, I own 2 currently, love them!
Cerceau/lyra/aerial hoop is so much fun
Cooking, I was a chef for a 2 star michelin restaurant in London, pastry is my forte including chocolate work and ice cream
Friends, they can make your life amazing!
Photography - I'm not fantastic at it but I'm learning!
Eating! I love food!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiked from Bordeaux to Lyon via Toulouse, Millau, Roquefort and Montpellier. My French is limited but it was the only way to communicate, I learnt so much from those whose cars I rode in! So many different walks of life, different careers! Their experiences, and stories! I laughed so much! So much fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learnt to have a real appreciation for home grown red wine! More on from that, ask as many questions whilst hosting or travelling as you can, people have so many experiences, it can be a life changing experience!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Denmark, Egypt, England, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, United States, Wales

Countries I’ve Lived In
