About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel the world, live life and enjoy every moment of it.

ABOUT ME

I'm very laid back, patient and fun loving chick. My family and friends are my priority, I will do anything for each and everyone of them. I'm a Pre-school teacher and love children and their amazing imaginations. I'm planning to travel the world over the next few years and make the most of every experience I encounter, good, bad and ugly!!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is there to be lived, no experience is a bad one, with each and every experience I have found I have grown as person and will continue to do so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have attended a few of the couchsurfing get togethers and met some great people. I have hosted and surfed and loved both!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have made life long friends through couch surfing. It was great to get completely involved in their culture and not have to shower with thongs on!! I loved the way they cared for me and how they opened their homes to me, when I went back to Australia I returned the favor and it felt very rewarding knowing that I made their stay in Sydney special and we had a lot of fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love action movies, comedies and real life stories.
My favorite band ever is U2 and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love any music that I can sing and dance to with friends and family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled to a few countries and seen heaps of cool things but the best thing I have ever done was volunteer in Africa in an orphanage. The children have nothing and they are so happy. It was a real eye opener and so rewarding.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe while traveling I believe in having a rough plan but not in concrete as anything could change and this way travelers will not be disappointing they will embrace the change and enjoy the new unexpected experience. I never rush while traveling because each time I have, I've lost something and it is just not worth it, if it means you will miss a train then so what... just catch the next one.
