ABOUT ME

Gardening, dogs, wildlife care, hiking and hugs are all very good things :) I enjoy conversations that last hours, feel like minutes and cover a wide range of opinions and information. Not tooooo much of a drinker but always up for a dance. Travelling to learn, learning to accept humanity lovingly with all its warts.

PHILOSOPHY

Be truthful, gentle and fearless.

Pasta, goat cheese, eggplant <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because although hostels are cheap and comfortable, I prefer to know the real people of the places I visit. Some of my most amazing friends are people who hosted me. Couchsurfers for a few days, friends for a lifetime. There's no better way to feel immersed in the location and the very best way to be shown a new town.
Please help me learn Spanish!

Interests

Music, I find it an incredibly emotive thing along with nature. I am a photographer, artistic contemporary and nature/travel stuff. But maybe that's just an excuse for having some kind of direction. I like layed back evenings with friends, chilled out bars or good alternative live music, getting naked an great parties and glitter. Music, food, learning, hiking, dancing, getting lost.

Teach, Learn, Share

I stayed with a host in China when I first arrived. Coming from Perth I'm very accustomed to having a lot of sunny days. I didn't see the sun in China for the first 9 days, which did make it difficult for me to feel happy. My Couchsurfing host must have noticed my glumness, because he said something beautiful to me:
"When the sky is grey and the sun doesn't shine, let it shine from inside you."
It was the cutest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I ALMOST play the banjo, not very well at all, but I'm pretty shy to play it.
I love cooking and can make delicious things for you :)
Good card games from across the globe.
I know teeth.
