About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Roadtriiiiiip!!! Brisbane to Townsville and back :D

ABOUT ME

never know what to say about myself..
I am happier outside and DOING!
I love a bluebird powder day when the fresh snow sparkles like little diamonds in the sun, i love when the sun shines off the ocean after I've just caught that first wave and i can't stop smiling. (can you tell I like sunshine)

I'm a pretty chilled out person and don't usually travel with a plan- I'm probably going to send lots of last minute requests.. Sorry!

I'm a bit of an introvert who forgets I'm an introvert if that makes sense! Love company and enjoying fun activities with friends but am very independent and quite happy to do my own thing and have my own space.

PHILOSOPHY

have fun. Be Happy! For me this usually means working towards something.

Also i've decided travelling and connection is the meaning of life. Learning and having purpose keeps you sane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when I have the chance -used to be in our house on the gold coast, hosted 2011 for 6 months living with 2 friends in a big house in Brisbane. So many fun times, great memories and cool surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is amazing. I got into it around June 2010 and i have met so many selfless, helpful, open minded and genuinely good people.

Interests

TRAVEL- different cultures, environments, people and languages - i have a lot to learn with languages especially!
books- always looking for recommendations

Playing outside! Keeping fit and active. Yoga, lately its acro yoga and partner acro! Surfing, slacklining, trampolining & snowboarding. I've just started rockclimbing after meeting some amazing climbers and i Love it.
A night in and real conversation and or laughs is more my style - not a big partier/drinker but enjoy nights out if the company and vibe is good :)
