CURRENT MISSION

To discover Sydney, Australia, and the SE Asia region

ABOUT ME

I am a Vancouverite with a wandering soul...I've been living in Sydney Australia since early 2010...really enjoying this beautiful city. I love to explore new places, try new things and meet new people. When I have more time, I'd love to do a longer trip to check out the rest of Australia and also South East Asia...in the meantime, I try to take breaks when I can and just enjoy life as much as I can!

PHILOSOPHY

"In the eternal hierarchy of travelers, the first among equals are the dreamers, the circumnavigators of the imagination, visionaries who set out on their armchair voyages of discovery, the very act of their explorations creating and embellishing and re-creating the world, and all the many splendid and sordid textures of life within it. ...of writers and readers, those pilgrims of literature who share humanity's most divine curse and most enduring lust: the need to savor experience, if not with the body, then certainly through the soul." -- Bob Shacochis, Literary Trips

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell all my friends about this awesome project. I look forward to meeting great people everywhere I travel to. I feel like this big world just got a lot smaller through Couch Surfing and love that I don't have to feel like an outsider anywhere.

I've hosted when I was living in Vancouver, and have couch surfed in California. Plan to host again soon or surf again soon!
