CURRENT MISSION Living in Germany! ABOUT ME Grew up in the west of Sydney then moved to the inner west when I graduated from university. Yes, I'm a westie through and through and would never even consider moving to the north shore (sorry, does that make me a snob?) Travelled through Asia while I worked, then, on the spur, I obtained a working holiday visa, quit my job and moved to London for 2 years where I spent more time travelling throughout Europe than staying in London and working. To be fair, I did work and I still freelance with the company now, so there was a positive outcome to it after all. Worked in Sydney for a bit now I'm back in Europe spending another six months in Germany and trying to see the rest of the cities I never made it to! PHILOSOPHY Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional
Fluent in English

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Surfing, meeting friends and sharing cultural experiences. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE It's only just beginning ... so far I've surfed at fifty-something people's places throughout Europe and they've been amazing and varied experiences. I hope to have many, many more! =)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Waiting for my moment to come
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: Let's see, I'm a jill of all trades and a master of none. I can teach you some basic piano, swing dancing, rock n roll/jive dancing, yoga, big words, random quotes (in English and in Latin), a bit of Thai, bit of Mandarin, bit of Cantonese... yeah that's probably about it. Learn: Love to learn the guitar (I've tried numerous times and failed dismally), trying to learn German ... anything really!
My Interests
Music, culture, travelling, dancing, reading, writing, breathing, talking, breathing, talking, breathing, talking, talking, talking. I like taking food photos. Now when I say that, I don't mean photos of food. I mean photos of me with food. Holding it, sitting in front of it, eating it. The works.
