About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Melbourne

ABOUT ME

Like all of us, I am many things... In terms of work and passion I am a youth and community worker and usually live and work in Honiara, Solomon Islands. At the moment I currently finishing a fellowship in Thailand in Peace and Conflict Resolution. My family and I are about to go on a short but sweet adventure to Europe for the first time and hope to get back into couch surfing (after a couple of years break) in the process.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe each day we should work together towards a better world, being the best we can be, taking advantage of opportunities to share and learn, to bring people together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for 6 months in Mexico. It made me feel like no one is foreign, we are all connected and friends, and now is the opportunity to meet.

Interests

I love art of all forms and learning from people about their lives, stories and points of view.
