Hi, I am here as I love to connect with people and learn about their lifestyle and what makes them unique. I find it really enhances my experience and creates a wonderful bond that is hard to get as a solo traveler without couchsurfing. I’ve been roaming for a while now and have spent the last decade outside of my own country mainly in Australia but also New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and lately Middle East and UK.

I love cats and freedom so I have recently been housesitting throughout the year which I’ve really enjoyed but in the winter I am escaping to warmer places! Couchsurfing is a nice change and a different experience after being alone with the cats and working on my business for several months. My references may tell more about what to expect as far as my personality and in the next sections I’ve put some information to help with logistics. I have already booked my travel plan from now until mid July 2026 so I can dedicate my attention to sightseeing and my business. Maybe I’ll see you soon.
***********************************************************
Meetups/Hosts:

I do well with predictable, reliable, calm, positive, and decisive people who respect autonomy and love to help and are caring. Being respectful, generous, trustworthy, clear and direct in communication is imperative.

💸I am at the exciting but challenging stage of business which means that all my resources are going into the business and little is left to live off of so- please let me know in advance if you invite me to activities that require a financial investment from me.

📆I respect my hosts’ schedules and time. They don’t need to entertain or give all their time especially if they are working or have other obligations. I also value hosts who are also flexible and allow freedom and autonomy. If we both have time and want to plan some sightseeing or special activities this can be really nice. Let’s coordinate and discuss what works best for both of our schedules to ensure it’s a nice visit.
*********************************************************
Environment:

🧼🔑 I thrive in safe, comfortable, and respectful environments. I’m very clean and appreciate tidy kitchens and bathrooms. Please tell me if the key is not given and we have to leave at certain times. I’m sensitive to smoke, room sprays/cleaning agents fyi.

📣🎧I am sensitive to the environment and sensory input (misophonia/sensory processing issues) so when we are together I appreciate lower volume.

✈️ I may need to decompress and be alone periodically especially if I just was in a chaotic environment. After being alone in silence to manage the overstimulation I feel ready to join the fun. One host bought me a pin to wear that is adjustable and says “social battery” and you can adjust the level of the battery from green down to red 😌.
************************************************************
Health and Safety Notes:

🕊️Sleep: separate sleeping area and not a shared room or studio setting as I’m a light sleeper.

🦩Men: Non-sexual and non-initiate safe and respectful interactions free from unwarranted physical contact,
flirting, controlling behaviours or sexual discussions.

🦜Food: I am Gluten-free FYI (I’m intolerant to wheat, barely, and rye).

🦚Non-smoking please
*********************************************************
I’ve been fortunate to meet kind and generous hosts who have shared the most amazing kindness and hospitality, stories, and their homes—these experiences mean the world to me. I LOVE authenticity, learning, sharing, and growing.

I look forward to meeting generous, caring, and kind hosts and sharing respectful, enjoyable experiences together.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from around the world—to learn about new cultures, understand different lifestyles, and make lifelong friends. I enjoy connecting with those who share a passion for travel, history, and culture, and spending time with like-minded locals to have experiences I couldn’t as just a tourist.

I hope to have genuine connections with others who appreciate different cultures and ways of life. I haven’t hosted much because I usually live somewhere temporarily, and most landlords or flatmates don’t allow overnight guests. Although I haven’t been stable enough or had space available to host a lot but it would be fun to do more once I am.

I approach Couchsurfing purely as a way to enhance my travels and connect with interesting people. I appreciate the hospitality I’ve received along the way and friendships I’ve made.

音乐、电影和书籍

Mainly pop mixed with other types. Soft rock is fine also or other random types from various countries.

Funny /psychological thrillers/non-violent ones with a strong and interesting story line rather than just action scenes.

I liked the Harry Potter series and Roald Dahl when I was forced to read for points in school. I fall asleep almost immediately now days or my eyes get heavy.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Helped Ukrainian orphans, held a lamb in Ireland, was licked by a deer, rode through Rome on the back of a motorcycle (it was also somewhat terrifying at the speeds we were going). Skydiving and bungee jumping in NZ. Joining my aunt on her first trip out of the USA! Spending the day riding around on a golf cart in some secret kibutz villages which are impossible for ordinary tourists to see. And surviving 8 dogs barking at me in my hotel in Thailand and one biting me and getting rushed to get vaccines and going to the hospital in multiple countries to complete the post bite vaccinations. Now I’m terrified of barking dogs 😆🥲. I was already scared before but even worse now.

教，学，和分享

I love psychology and health science and the mindset of being positive, proactive, empathetic, generous, and appreciative of everything we have in this life. I find conspiracy theories interesting and things such as ancient aliens and other documentaries etc. My grandpa was a famous philosopher so maybe I got some genes from him that made me also interested in these subjects. He wrote the books “Fish” - Stephen Lundin.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I like fitness and got my degree in Exercise Science so we can workout together. Sometimes I like to clean or organise to show appreciation for my hosts if it’s a longer stay and there is time available. LOTS OF CRAZY STORIES 😆
