I'm from Newcastle NSW but have lived in Sydney for many years. I've recently moved back to Sydney after nearly 3 years living in Mexico - I was traveling and Couchsurfing in Guadalajara, Jalisco when I met my now husband. We lived together in Tijuana, Baja California for a couple of years before moving to Australia in July 2016. We now live in Sydney's inner west - a great area.

I have previously worked as an accountant and English teacher, but now I am living my passion as a Pilates Instructor. I also love the beach, riding my bike, swimming, bush walking, catching up with friends over a beer or wine, occasionally cooking but more often eating , and doing all of the above with my fantastic husband :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a brilliant idea and now more than ever it is important for us to realise that most people in the world are friendly and kind despite our many differences, and that the world is a wonderful place, not as scary as modern society would make you believe.

I had so many great experiences surfing through Mexico! I met many wonderful people and was blown away by their generosity and hospitality. I would like to give back and aspire to be as generous and welcoming as those people who were kind enough to host me.

Interests

Traveling and meeting new people. Being outdoors - hiking, camping, swimming. Road trips. Markets. Music festivals. Dancing. I love the beach and the ocean - swimming, surfing, walking. I enjoy cooking, but I love eating even more. I love Pilates - it's so much more than exercise, but not many people know about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like lots of types of music, particularly Australian artists. There's loads of great Aussie music out there. I usually listen to Triple J, or whatever rock en español my husband puts on!

The movies I like to watch depends on my mood. Sometimes I like kids movies, sometimes I want something dramatic or challenging, sometimes I like stupid comedies. I don't like horror though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learnt a second language. It opens up so many possibilities and I find it sad that most Australians only speak English.

Teach, Learn, Share

My passion is Pilates and if you get me started talking about it you won't hear the end of it!
