CURRENT MISSION

To be surprised, excited, amazed and humbled.

ABOUT ME

I am open, honest and enjoy meeting people who like a decent conversation. If you like to dance, cook or eat interesting and amazing food, that's even better!

I like my indepedence and am very happy to travel on my own but I also love meeting people, of all kinds, along the way. I love trying new food, especially if it involves cheese or exotic fruit (or a good glass of red wine) and learning about the cultural traditions as well as the history of the places I visit.

I have recently caught the swing dancing bug and hope to find new places and people to enjoy a dance with.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all in this together - the world is yours and mine - so build the kind of world in which you want to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Share the word, take part and - when I finally get back to Australia - give back!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met up with James in Brighton UK (his couch wasn't available): met his friends, went to Applefest - all of which was great!

I stayed with Estelle in Aix En Provence then with her mum in Nante, which were both fantastic experiences that opened my eyes to the generosity of the human spirit and the possibilities of couchsurfing.
