CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Honest, funny, passionate, capable and independent.

I love to travel and meet new people. I speak fluent English and decent Swiss-German and German. I enjoy seeing new places, eating delicious food and learning new things.

I'm very passionate about human rights. I think everyone should be treated like the people they are. I was the Womens Officer at university, and have help host events such as 'Reclaim the Night', I help out the LGBTI community both at uni and in community events such as Pride, and am passionate about there not being a divide between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal people.

I'm also somewhat of an expert at lame jokes!

For fun I enjoy diving, reading, surfing the Web and having new experiences.

I've worked as an English teacher in South Korea and Madrid.

PHILOSOPHY

As long as you're not hurting anyone, do whatever you want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have done some house-sitting (I'm great with animals), a lot of couch surfing at mate's places, and a lot of camping. I once lived in a tent (granted it was a large tent with a sun room) for a year out on a cattle station.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Movie: Evolution, followed closely by Johnny English. However, I mostly watch action movies, such as anything containing Arnie, Stallone, Jason Stratham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li and the Bourne movies.

There are way to many books I love to put them here, except to mention Michael Connolly, Martina Cole, Jean M Auel, Janet Evanovich and Agatha Christe as some of my all time faves!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France - absolutely amazing!!
The view from a hill top resort in Koh Phangan, Thailand while in a hammock.
SCUBA diving for the first time in Koh Tao, Thailand, and seeing a giant sea turtle.

Teach, Learn, Share

Before you go to a place, read about the scams that are common there. Take lots of photos and write it all down. You'll appreciate the extra effort a few years down the track!!!

I can teach English, European cooking and travel advice!

I want to learn vegetarian and vegan cooking (though I am neither vegetarian nor vegan - yet!). I would also like to learn more diving, martial arts, Korean and Spanish.

I can share a sense of adventure and humour!
