About Me

I am a dreamer.
I like taking things slow and easy and I hate rushing.
I love having fun and meeting people. Sunshine is my best friend. It makes me happy and without it, it makes me sad. I love the beach and the sand.
My passion is in dancing, music, cooking up a storm and being healthy and fit.

PHILOSOPHY

To love others more than I love myself.
Not to judge those around me or how others treat me.
To make someone happy every day.
To understand and be accepting of different cultures.
To learn different languages to communicate with others from other countries.
To eat without limits.
To learn something new about myself everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband Frank and I are travelling in a van around Australia for 6-8 months and would love to meet new people who are local to the community. And plus once in a while, it's always nice staying at a home with a kitchen and a bathroom ;) The things we normally take for granted when we do have a home! We are both very low maintenance we promise! We will help out however we can around the house and do whatever we can to make our stay easy and comfortable for our hosts :)

Unfortunately we will not be able to host anyone at the moment as we're travelling till early 2016, but when we get back, our doors are definitely open!

Interests

We love travelling, meeting people and learning about their culture.
We have been so fortunate to be able to take 6-8 months off to travel around Australia in a van. It's been such a journey and we've met such amazing people along the way!

We love creating good food and eating well. And now that we have all this time, we've been experimenting and creating amazing food that we normally wouldn't when we're working.

We also love running and have recently got into trail running which really connects us to nature and the earth. We love starting our day with a beautiful sunrise run wherever we are. It gives us the energy we need for the rest of the day!
