About Me

ABOUT ME

Generally... I fill my days with many things, I work, I make stuff, I drink coffee, I grow plants from cuttings I take when walking through the suburbs. I love the ocean. I like cleanliness and surrounding myself with beautiful things. I go through stages of extreme insomnia. Sometimes I'm a little bit neurotic, but I can always see the funny side of it.
I live in a lovely little house with two other people in Thornbury, Melbourne.
This is a newish profile. I have an old one which I shared with an old boyfriend. If you want to look at it for references check out Rafe and Jess in my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I only ever regret the things I didn't do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I live with other people, and we're all pretty busy, there are times when I won't be able to host, but will be happy to meet up with you for a few hours and do something nice and fun and Melbourney... Be warned I'll probably take you to a gallery before I take you to a bar!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been involved in Couchsurfing for a few years now. I lived in the Czech Republic for 9 months of 2008 and '09 and had many surfers from all around the world come to stay. I then spent that Summer travelling through Europe and couchsurfed through Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and France. Couchsurfing is a marvellous thing to do, as a traveller and as a host. It opens your eyes to the world around you, brings unexpected delight and adventure, and sometimes you make a new friend for life.
