Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had a chance to experience it yet but am very excited to try it out!

Interests

I share an equal passion for both the arts and the sciences (although I have more of a knack for the former) and hope to explore both of them throughout my travels and my life. Volcanoes hold a particularly dear place in my heart. I also enjoy drawing, painting and sculpting the human figure and love to visit and participate in art galleries and shows around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing to the top of Mount Yasur to watch nature's breathtaking fireworks display, coming face to face with a cassowary in the Daintree rainforest, snorkelling freely along the Great Barrier Reef, and walking across the moonlike landscape of the active Ambrym volcano complex.

Teach, Learn, Share

Though I am not a natural born teacher, I do love to create things and would very much enjoy staying in for an afternoon of painting and sculpting with anyone who's up for it!
