Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Create at least one new experience every day that I travel
ABOUT ME
Travel, travel and travel. And taking the path less travelled in order to have a new and exciting experience to remember! How else would I have ended up dressed as Ophelia at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London? Or hanging out with Tommy Lee and his band in Brisbane? Or taking a chance with Couchsurfing? :)
I love the best of both worlds.
While I am energetic, social and enjoy going out, I enjoy quieter time to focus and take everything in....
I am well read and have an ability to retain lots of useful (and useless) information.
I love to eat and drink and dance and laugh and hug and get my breath taken away by this beautiful world we live in :)
I am a loyal friend and positive person to be around.
I am a Capricorn!!
I AM ON FACEBOOK! And so are all of my travel pics :)
PHILOSOPHY
The energy we give out affects those around us - so that's why I choose to be as positive as I can about life and smile as much as possible
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I was intro'd to CS in Italy by fellow Aussies while on travels in Oct 06....
It wasn't until arriving in Washington DC in Dec 07 that I was hosted by the wonderful Gil and Nancy, who were amazing to me!
From there, I was active in the New York CS social scene, making lots of friends and attending some great nights and parties!
I have been looked after exceptionally well in Miami via CS, and as for Europe in 2008......I can't wait!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In Dec 2007, Gil and Nancy from Washington DC were my first hosts...and they were GREAT!
I had the most amazing New Years Eve ever with a bunch of CSers galavanting in New York City! Memories I won't ever forget...
And Joaquin showed me the best of Miami, Florida in Jan 08!
