About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To inspire the world that every individual can make a difference.

ABOUT ME

I'm a big environmentalist and friend of the Earth!
I love to meet new and interesting people, hear their stories and learn new skills! Always ready for a party, and love going to concerts/events. I want to experience other cultures and take what I learn home with me.
I'm up for helping out wherever I can, and am very social - though I'm not always the best at remembering names :-/
I welcome anyone to stay with me, though as i work away now i'm hardly ever home - if you could come to the island I would gladly have you here, just to share some of the wonderful hidden treasures we have! But sorry to say - it is out of bounds for most.

I have recently found myself living out my ultimate dream. My days now consist of saving wild animals from certain death, teaching people about the environment, making changes to a horrific industry (oil & gas) to try and get them as efficient and sustainable as possible, spending my days off staying in luxurious places, sipping cocktails and playing blackjack OR diving, exploring and enjoying the country I live in, and each fortnight getting paid for doing it.

My boyfriend and plan to travel more and more (on short trips between work) and hope to see and experience what this world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Anything is possible if you just put your head and heart into it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to go on road trips around my beautiful state, and show people the lifestyle of a West Aussie.
Although I can no longer promise a couch (as I'm living with several travellers who pay rent - so I have to get their approval too) I will endeavor to offer my couch/help find a couch for any fellow surfers in need of some shelter and friendly conversation! I can also offer a meal, hot water and fresh towels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a CouchSurfing Virgin, but I am looking forward to that changing in the near future!

Interests

Hobbies include:
SCUBA diving,
lazing about at random properties,
surfing(trying to - but still no good!),
cruising in car with metal music up loud,
hanging out with friends and the occasional random, trekking through forest hugging trees,
searching through caves and vegetation for creatures,
pretending I'm really rich at luxurious hotels and casinos,
drinking cocktails and champagne (goes along with the previous point)
Basically like to have FUN and enjoy ALL that life has to offer
