CURRENT MISSION

set off to explore new lands

ABOUT ME

I stay positive and like keeping an open mind. Seeking out new experiences especially If they involve making new friends. Laughing and creating unforgettable memories with other people. I enjoy the fun and light side of life but thrive on an interesting discussion. I like the nice quiet nights spent cooking , drinking and talking with people.

I prefer the inner city lifestyle being close to live music venues and art. When the weather is nice I enjoy exploring outside. Swimming in the ocean or having a picnic in a reserve or park. I feel more relaxed when I can commute by walking or bike.
I get lost quite easily and find that usually that's when the spontaneous little surprises of life happen.
I'm often spontaneous so being that way I guess it comes with being a little unorganised. I think i'm learning to balance between being organised and spontaneous.

8 years or so I've been teaching guitar mostly to kids. After all these years teaching I still feel grateful and don't see it as a job. I find satisfaction in teaching and I look forward to everyday.
That little travel bug keeps me moving around and I have a strong desire to continue experiencing new cultures. I look forward to every day and want to to continue to explore the world and keep a fresh positive outlook on life.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the diversity of life. Feel every moment and attract positive influences and people. Keep smiling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host when i can and always to let people know about couch surfing and the ideals it portrays if they are unaware of couchsurfing. I enjoy the experiences I've had from hosting. I find it can help open up minds. For me Hosting makes the world feel brighter and more humane. You can gain so much by trusting people and letting them into your life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences have always been very positive and memorable. People have been so welcoming ,friendly and warm. I've couch surfed through Europe and have hosted in Brisbane and Melbourne.
