ABOUT ME

i'm the luckiest girl alive, and profoundly thankful for it.I LOVE LIFE, I love my life, and I love LIVING life as robustly and delightedly as I can, which means I've done a lot of really dumb things, but it also means I have very few regrets... seldom do I have to look back and regret not having done something (except maybe studying more, but then I'd have had to have forgone stuff I'd have regretted passing up...) (that's a touch excessive with the 'hads')

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday, something new reveals itself. Thats how I know I am alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfed many couches between Argentina and New York, then got couch burnt out.
Hosted many lovely people with Cassie in our squat last summer, then I had a break.
Reading through forums and attending CS events from time to time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sometimes I find it hard to believe that some of the people I know in the world, I found here on this site, regardless of how much they use this site. Although its not the only way I have met people, the fact that it provides the potential for it, is intrinsically wonderful.

Interests

Making jewellery, painting, playing clarinet, fire poi, dub step, reggae, Musica popular brasileira, watching the garden grow, history - there is so much of it, swimming in bodies of water, sun salutations, stretching, the beach, the rainforest, snorkelling - the ocean is amazing, cooking when I have time, learning to cook new things, eating other peoples cooking, riding my bike, learning in general.
