ABOUT ME

I've lived in Sydney for as long as I can remember, and my passion for travel really began after I studied at UCD in Ireland for a semester during university.
I think travel is like an escape - something that you experience and get easily addicted to (especially when you're sitting at an office desk all day!) ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Home is where the heart is

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a surfer I'm happy to offer my cooking, lame jokes, and friendship to my host :)
I've also been known to teach aerobics routines and give haircuts, but those are optional.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I couchsurfed was in Lisboa, Portugal in 2012 and it opened the fresh possibility of being able to travel on a shoestring.

Interests

Meeting new people :D
Non-tourism traveling - traveling with the mindset of 'doing as the locals do'
Health & fitness - I love being active and trying new foods or ways of cooking, particularly vegetarian/ vegan foods. I am predominantly vegetarian, but am still fine-tuning my moral compass on this issue!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked 12km up the mountain of Vaishnu Devi for a pilgrimage in the region of Kashmir, India. There I attended the evening prayer and walked in the freezing holy water of the Ganges river, and slept in the Bhavan nestled in the mountains.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Enthusiastic open-minded intellectual chit chat on anything
My party trick of opening a beer with a water bottle, and doing the splits (sometimes, together;)!
