CURRENT MISSION My current mission is to live my life as truly and honestly as possible. I aim to be a good and friendly and caring person and to share smiles with as many people as I can. The happier you are within yourself,the better for the world. ABOUT ME Well, I'm very creative and usually busy. I love to be occupied. I'm an action person. Sad situations such as our recent fires spur me into action as I hate sitting around thinking "Oh, things are hopeless, blah blah..." I think there is always something you can do in your life to help someone else, even if it is just giving a smile or some words of encouragement. I have a lot of friends and feel inspired by the people around me. Having said that I also need time alone and sometimes have a "day in bed" where I only emerge to eat. I like keeping active by riding my bike and doing yoga and swimming. I also really like exploring my own country. Australia has so many beautiful and amazing places to experience and I think Australians are quite cool and diverse. I can't think of more right now... PHILOSOPHY I think that striving to be happy is of utmost importance because it is a good base from which to help others and the world. I believe that I have been blessed with a strong body and mind and a great family and that I have a responsibility to put as much back into my society as I can in whatever way I can. I am a big believer in being grateful. I love my family and my friends and would go out of my way for them, and also for others I encounter along the way. But I know my limits too and believe that you need to take care of yourself.

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Well, I have couch surfed once and we have started doing couch surfing in our share house in Melbourne. See http://www.couchsurfing.com/profile.html?id=OCOIB5 for our house. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have so far had 2 official couch surfing experiences. I surfed with Jo in Tasmania and she was the hostess with the mostess. Very generous and fun and stuff. And a lovely house with 2 amazing dogs! We have hosted a couple of awesome israelis in our lounge room. Osnat and Eliaz are so cool and kind of became part of the furniture. Soon to be hosting again...yay!
Musik, Filme und Bücher
Books are my favourite. I read all the time and will chew through a book in about 2-3 days sometimes. I don't have a TV so trashy vampire books are my escape. I will also give anything a go that someone suggests. I just finished Eat Pray Love and it was amazing! Music - Gomez are my favourite band. I like some other stuff too but am not a big music listener, preferring talk radio. Let's leave movies for now. Usually anything a bit dark/indie/foreign/interesting
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
One amazing thing I did was to visit Uluru in Northern Territory. I walked around the base and was awestruck by the energy of the place. Beautiful and mesmerising
