About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get job and house sorted!

ABOUT ME

i am a happy, silly, freethinkin kind of girl

i really enjoy travel and art and the good life in general - good food, good people, good time....

Before my travels i lived in sydney, working for an arts funding agency with dance and theatre organisations. I'm sometimes rowdy, sometimes quiet and always open to something new

PHILOSOPHY

'through every window a different view'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Very new to this but am currently on a long trip round the world and hoping to meet with CSers along the way

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing in bits and pieces around south america, the US and Europe, always up for a drink/coffee wherever i go. Can host after i get back to Australia.

Interests

I am interested in interesting things

sleeping in, art galleries, reading, walking through parks, gardens, cities, live music or theatre, film, a few drinks in a nice bar (or even a crappy bar), sometimes a dance. As they say, try anything twice...
