About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, explore, grow, live

ABOUT ME

I'm adventurous and looking to meet people from all around the world! I love all types of music, exploring, hiking, adventure and anything to do with snow. I am learning several languages and living and teaching English in Asturias, Northern Spain. I am from the Gold Coast, Australia.

There are two things I love to do in every place I visit, climb to the highest point of the city and find an incredible garden. I also really enjoy photography because it lets me show people how I see the world. I like to take pictures of little details and seemingly random things as well as landscapes.

PHILOSOPHY

The mountains are calling and I must go
What comes around goes around
To live would be an awfully big adventure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still quite new to couch surfing, but I have met some incredible people. Being on the other side of the world from my friends and family, its great to meet new people.

To me couch surfing is about sharing travel stories and cultures and making new friends. I also think locals know their cities and towns better than anyone else.

My spare room is always open for visitors :)

Interests

Yoga, music, photography, hiking, being out in nature, food (all of the food haha) I'm vegetarian, snow, adventures, and animals.
