About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy the journey, and not be preoccupied with the destination.

ABOUT ME

Hi! Currently in my home town Sydney, the best city I've been to. A big statement, and I think it'll stick! But I'm one of the least Aussie people you'll meet, meaning beer and cricket are not now, nor have ever been, at the top of my list! but I like to think I possess a good share of famed Aussie qualities too: good sense of humour [a very sarcastic one], likes to chillax [possibly favourite word right now], lazy [not a good quality - but it did see me through 6 weeks in Mexico that I am NOT sorry for!].
a non-smoker, occasionally likes to drink -not beer- I don't watch much sport, prefer to play it. very individual, have been travelling on my own since september 08, but always look forward to meeting new faces and hearing about their experiences - and thought I'd give couch surfing a go! can't wait to meet all u crazy people out there- see you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

have no regrets.don't over-analyse, worrying gets you nowhere. happiness is not as hard to find as it may seem. nothing is more important than love and happiness.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bit of an all-rounder here. I like comedies primarily, also rom-coms and psych thrillers.
Like all music that isn't rap or metal and Must have lyrics. clubby music, as long as its mixed, pop, jazz, rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

riding a sea turtle in the pacific ocean. Check.
