Australian. Extensively travelled, but always jealous of those on the other side of the world. I'm a feminist, kitesurfer, cyclist, avid reader and consumer of knowledge. I want to translate my studies and passion for gender and development into something tangible. At a superficial level I wish to meet new people, swim, hike and cycle the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted couchsurfers in Timor-Leste and provided help and advice to people who want to get around Timor. I try to meet up with other couchsurfers when I'm off traveling the world and stay with locals when I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Five day mountain-bike stage race through the most remote parts of Timor-Leste. Spending Christmas and NYE with random travellers on some totally unknown islands in Sulawesi. Kitesurfing my life away in Portugal. Sitting on top of a mountain gazing down on Mongolia. Exploring the depths of the Gobi desert. 3 days of dancing at Fuji Rock Festival, Japan. And much more.....
