CURRENT MISSION

to expand my horizons

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, independent person who is open to new experiences and to learning from others. I'm creative, brave, outgoing and smart and I like to have adventures. I recently finished my degree and so one part of my life that was mapped out is finished, the next chapter is just beginning and I'm excited to explore it :).

PHILOSOPHY

To be brave, kind, honest and open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CouchSurfing project but excited about it. I think it's a great way of making travel more accessible and it encourages the exchange of ideas, culture and friendliness across the globe and I look forward to being more involved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some great experiences surfing in Japan and Taiwan. I also have experience as an exchange student, and live in a sharehouse that welcomes guests into our home. I stayed with a host family in Mimasaka, Japan which was an amazing experience. I appreciate the respect and generosity required to be a guest in someone's home and make others feel welcome in yours.

Interests

Music, travel, politics, art and partying are the things I enjoy most. I'm interested in political history, street art, gender theory, language, yoga and random useless music trivia. I LOVE to dance, it really does make my face light up, and I paint and collage. Interesting conversations, offbeat humour, especially shared silliness and laughter in the face of challenges and hard times really make my day.
