After this I travelled to London, UK where I lived and worked for 1.5 years.During this time I also travelled to Ios in the Greek Islands for 3 months where I worked in a bar.In November 2009 I returned to Australia in order to work and save money for a trip to Brasil in February,2010.I have the travel bug and am enjoying myself thoroughly while I travel the world meeting wonderful people and seeing amazing places.

PHILOSOPHY

Make Love not War

Forging friendships that will last a lifetime.

Live.Laugh.Love

Live life in the moment, not dwelling on the past

Peace begins with a smile

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero - Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

I love to meet people - regardless of where they come from and what they 'own'. Money is not important to me - the person is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member of the Couch Surfing Community from when I was travelling. I hope that I can actively participate in it by providing a positive experience of what it is like living in Sydney, Australia. I also hope that while travelling I am a good ambassador for my country to those I meet.
