Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Getting out in the big wide world, learning, exploring
ABOUT ME
Love enjoying life, learning new things, nature+all its wonders, yoga, dancing-non stop for many hours, breathing in real deep and smiling from the inside out-especially if its in some breathtaking surroundings.
I'm at home when I'm outdoors doing productive, worthwhile, helpful, enjoyable things. Am generally energetic, positive, enthusiastic, upbeat + love a laugh and a challenge and don't mind looking a little silly along the way...but also prone to a little procrastination(esp. if academic stuff looms).
Trying to shake that and any other unhelpful habits by getting out there more...trying new things, living with a purpose + pass a few ripples on.
I want to meet + join people that care about whats going on in the world and are trying to do something positive about it. I hope to meet some fellow crazy lovely people on my travels who will teach me some new tricks, inspire me to be better and do more...I'm very excited because we are given so many opportunities in this world!
PHILOSOPHY
Love Life, make your voice count, get active, make a difference and know you are not alone.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to share any skills I have on my way round, usually teaching a bit of yoga, and if I ever get somewhere that I can host from it would be great to give it a try and pay some of the kindness back.
