CURRENT MISSION

Discover new career paths/ volunteer while travelling/ see as many countries as years lived/ do more art/ learn guitar and foreign tongues/ question my motives and strive to be more altruistic than I am selfish.

ABOUT ME

Born and bred in Australia, but as with many of us here, I love to travel whenever possible. I have moved to Europe/UK for a few years to make good use of my EU passport and persue some challenges I long to sink my teeth into. I don't want to rave on about myself too much as that can be saved till an ice-breaking drink and chat with my fellow couch-surfers. I'll just mention that I am open-minded and easy-going and can do the dishes pretty well too. :)

PHILOSOPHY

First up, the obvious: Treat others as you'd have them treat you. Don't judge a book by it's cover. No regrets. Say sorry when need be, it's easy. Be open-minded, "Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling?" M.C. Escher.
"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet." Gerar Toye.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
Mahatma Gandhi

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling and surfing in East/South Africa to spread the love and cut down the cultural boundaries, stereotypes and biases. After that I'll be back in Oz with a space somewhere on the east coast (Sydney or Melbourne) to return the favour!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been surfing & hanging out with couch surfers, and all of it has been mighty grand. :)
