About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to constantly change myself for the better. In this way I can also help many people

ABOUT ME

I aim to be as un-judgemental as possible, to go where the wind takes me and adapt easily to people and situations. I love discovering what makes people tick. I enjoy being generous without the expectation of reciprocity. Above all, I intend to make anyone who comes into my life as comfortable as possible, whilst still challenging their pre-conceptions.
I love to party, in a warehouse or a club or my apartment. And to party everyone must be comfortable to be there with each other, I love a good energy that makes me dance like crazy all night.
And after we party, I like to get breakfast at the market, and lie in the park in the sun for the day.

At the moment I am travelling up the East coast of Australia with my boyfriend Jeremy in our van. We began in Tasmania in January, spent summer down there, have worked like slaves at various fruit farms for shits and giggles (and a few dollars), visited many beautiful places and met some cool people.

Update: It's now the end of January 2015 and after working on tropical Magnetic Island in Queensland we saved enough money to come to France, spend a lot of time with Jeremys friends and family, snowboard for two weeks, and have an amazing christmas.
We are now based sharing an apartment with some lovely people 20 minutes outside of Paris.

PHILOSOPHY

when the power of love outweighs the love of power the world will know peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I had my own apartment I hosted some people, alot I met in my city but a few from this website to!
My mum's had so many travellers from this site stay with her in her little bit of paradise, so it's constantly inspired me to do so to.
Now that me and the boy are based in Paris, I want to extend the invitation to anyone looking for 1 or 2 nights to crash, it'd have to be in the room with us, but it's a big room. :-P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being hypnotized by the enchanting world of Sintra, in the mountains near Lisboa, Portugal. Never have I drunk water so sweet as that of the Moorish fountain. I embraced my solitude by walking the whole way up the mountains to the amazing castles and wonderland.
In Cadiz, Spain I was overwhelmed by the generosity and curiosity of a French fish farming school. These students and I communicated on a very simple level, however I have never felt more accepted by a group of people. They invited me to travel with them through the national parks of Andalucia, Southern Spain, to Malaga, an experience I will always hold dear in my heart.
In Myanmar (Burma) I was overwhelmed by the generosity of the Burmese people. Several times on different occasions I was invited to a meal and if the military government had allowed it would have been able to sleep with local people.

Teach, Learn, Share

People with energy and patience. People who can relax about things they cant change, and change things they don't like.
Honest people.
