Love travelling and seeing and doing new things.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrownmindedness." - Mark Twain

"Life is like a box of chocolates.... you never know what you're gonna get!" - Forest Gump

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in New Zealand and Australia, Canada and the USA, Norway... and have had the best times doing it. I've hosted heaps of people since I got back from travelling.

You think you're only going to spend a night or two and then you end up staying a week because the people are just so amazing!

You meet local people as well as other couch surfers. Its the best way to see the real place you're in

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the Amazon jungle and a monkey jumped on me. It clung to me for 3 hours as I walked around this island on the Amazon River. When I had to leave it screamed and cried and tried to jump back on me. It had been orphaned and thought I was a good substitute mother. I sat in a room on the island which had wire around it to stop the monkies getting in and it clung to the wire trying to put its arm in to touch me.

I was so upset when I had to leave it.
PROTECT THE RAIN FORREST. STOP DESTROYING NATURAL HABITATS!!!!

I saw the sun rise from a volcano (Mt. Batur)in Bali and then a few weeks later from the top of Mt. Kinabalu in Borneo. Magic.
