About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and make a difference in it

ABOUT ME

That I am a lot of fun, very chilled and funny. People who meet me always say that my personality is not what they expected and that they were very happy to have met me. I am a person who is more of a friend for life not an acquaintance. We can be friends and not have spoken for months and when hanging out again be back to normal as if no time has passed.
I fell super strongly about what is happening to our world as we speak while we are busy making plans, having fun and trying to live. In the back of mind I always have the thought of all the animal cruelty that we are letting slip. Global warming which is becoming more and more apparent. I am not just saying this because I've seen it on TV or read an article, I have actually learned a lot about this at university and various other resources, enough to make an educated opinion. I love people with brains and their own opinions.

PHILOSOPHY

-The way you see yourself sets the standard for others
-Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction
-If you have a lot of things on your mind and you're stressing, worrying- Just look at the stars at night realise how small you really are and that one person can't possibly have so many problems
-Money is just money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to think I'm like the "Yes Man". Open for new things.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never technically couch surfed, but I keep saying there's a first for everything... Gotta start somewhere.

Interests

Something I enjoy so much and haven't had enough of is traveling and seeing the world. I enjoy meeting new people from other countries.I love random road trips, especially to Byron Bay. I love spending the day at the beach by myself and skating along the esplanade! I love clubbing; dancing- good music! Triple J radio!
I am currently studying Veterinary Technology and am graduating in a year. So obviosuly I care a lot about animals and one day hope to make a difference in this world by being an advocate for animals and their rights.
I spend my time doing what I feel like, traveling, studying, working and having fun. My friends are really important to me. I always have time for my friends :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've sky dived. That was quite the adrenaline rush.
A couple of months ago I went on a sailing tour in Croatia and didn't bring enough money along, only to find myself stranded in Split without any money. I had a flight booked for a couple of days later (after I ran out of money). I had no money for accomodation or to get to the airport. A friend I had met on my sailing your was so nice and paid for my hostel for my remaining two nights and for the bus to the airport. After I arrived in Milan I had to get to the train which is about an hour from the airport. There was a shuttle bus service and I explained to the drivers I ran out of dosh and they let me on the bus which was a 10euro trip. On the bus I made friends with a perfect stranger and straight up said I had no way of getting to Trento (about 3 hours from Milan). He was good enough to buy me train tickets. I made it all the way from Split, Croatia to Trento, Italy without any money in my pocket. I was and am still so gratefull for all the people who helped me out. In return I am a lot more willing to help people as I know exactly what it's like.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fluently speak German and English. I am bilingual but I really want to learn another language. Really want to learn Italian, It's so beautiful.
I can teach you a lot about science and animal science. Really interests me.
