About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of South America as possible over the next nine months!

ABOUT ME

I am an Aussie backpacker, from Perth, travelling the world (or what I can afford of it at least) with my boyfriend. So far I have seen about 1% of it so I have a long way to go but I'm doing my best over the next nine months by travelling through South America and have just spent two months in Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia so I'm getting there!

PHILOSOPHY

I like to live my life spontaneously, if I get stuck into too much of a routine I get bored very easily.. that's why I love travelling - you never know what will happen or where you're going or who you're going to meet from one day to the next!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When at home, my couch was/is always available for surfing and of course I am currently roaming the world and always appreciate a couch to sleep on :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several people back home in Oz before I left, and Cameron and I couchsurfed our way around Portugal for a month. I've made many a good friend as a result, and I'm looking forward to more couchsurfing experiences!

Interests

travel, travel, travel. also kickboxing, playing the piano, reading and sometimes photography. I also love food and cooking and part of the reason I love to travel is to experience the food of different cultures and of course to add to my recipe collection!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything that has an effect on me and the way I think, and I love anything that gets my imagination going.. that offers an escape from reality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode a camel and drank tea in the Sahara desert; met a few lasting friends in hostels and on couches around the world; woke up to falling snow in Austria and breakfasted in snow in Morocco.
