ABOUT ME

I'm a quiet kind of person, but I enjoy meeting new people and finding out about how they live their lives. There are so many people out there doing amazing things. They inspire me to be a little more creative and relaxed in the way I live my life.

The last three years have been great. I have traveled, learnt a foreign language for the fist time, met a pretty great guy, got married, and changed career. Now it is time to stay put for a while and get back into this thing people call work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined up in 2009 and hosted a few people before heading overseas. I met up with a group of couch surfers in Thailand and we travelled together which was great. I have surfed in Australia, New Zealand, and Germany.
Now we have our own flat I am looking forward to hosting again.
