About Me

G'day :) I'm an Australian who grew up in tropical north Queensland. I love the sunshine, beaches, swimming, adventure and the great outdoors. I graduated university last year and decided to do a big trip before I 'settle down' into a full-time job - but not really I'll most likely save for a year then head off again X). I am very open minded to others beliefs and way of life and have a big heart :)

I'm new to couchsurfing... I started in Germany in July and now I'm addicted. I love experiencing the city through locals and becoming part of their little family. So far everyone has inspired, surprised and taught me new things and I just can't get enough. I can be quiet curious especially once I have a beer in me so bare with my 101 questions :) I can't help myself your all so interesting ;) I will be traveling all over Europe and would love a place to call home during my travels.

I started this journey in Africa at the start of June. I camped for a month in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. You'll most likely hear about it I can't shut up about how awesome it was - sorry in advance - Africa is my new love! And from Africa I landed in Germany to start this leg of my journey. So my unplanned journey has taken me from Germany to: UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece and Croatia. My flight back to the land down under is booked in November 🇦🇺

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get amongst different cultures and lifestyles :)

Interests

The Earth and all it's living creatues. Animals are my passion, they make me tick. So if you have any pets I'm more than happy to babysit ;). Back home I love to volunteer at the RSPCA (an animal shelter), hike, do yoga and go to the beach.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a sucker for kids films - Finding Nemo, Avatar, Harry Potter and anything in between :) I also love a good documentary and can't go past my favorite man of all time, David Attenborough! But in general I'll watch a bit of everything - depends on my mood.

Music... anything but full on country and heavy metal. At home I love to sing and dance around in my room like I'm 5 years old in my undies listening and singing to anything I can mildly remember the words to ;) (I like to think everyone does the same when they're alone) - anything from Queen to the latest radio hit.

But I'm regularly listening to... Chet Faker, Vance Joy, The Weeknd, Milky Chance, Jack Johnson, Foals, Panama, Glass Animals and Flume... This list goes on :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Coming face to face to with 180kg of gorilla
- Running through the forest following chimpanzees
- Diving with Great White sharks

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good laugh :) embarrassing stories about my life, we all have them why not share them and have a good old laugh at yourself! While I don't consider myself a great cook I am more than happy to give it a go, and that goes with most things! I am clean, tidy and respectful of others.
