ABOUT ME
I am 22. I moved to Sydney On February 3rd, 2014 from Mangamuka, New Zealand. I spent 6 months in the middle of the wops, observing nature and au paring. I absolutely treasured my time spent in New Zealand, but decided to accept a job opportunity in Sydney. I am not much of a city person, but am enjoying my time thus far.
I left the United States August 2013 to pursue my dream of traveling the world. I am currently au pairing to save money for backpacking and more traveling escapades. I've been a nanny for 6 years. I've also dabbled in restaurant management and bartending. In college, I majored in nursing and minored in film. However, I did not complete my degree as I was constantly daydreaming of traveling.
I am not very fond of describing myself via "about me". I feel like I am creating a dating profile and/or ranting.
Just hang out with me, be my friend, and we can get to know one another from there.
PHILOSOPHY
"If you ain't livin life on the edge, you are taking up too much space."
"Once you courageously accept you are alone in this vast world and strange existstance, your life begins"
"Your thoughts shape your world"
"The world isn't out to get you, you are out to get the world"

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
By providing excellent company to your hang outs and travels.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In my lifetime? As a teenager I was filled with angst, so I left home at 16, finished high school, and began college. I surfed my friends couches as a broke college student.
Would like to create a new and more positive perception of couch surfing, as mine is obviously stuck in limbo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The edge of the world @ Cape Reinga, New Zealand.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you yoga and give you tips on meditation.
I would also love to learn other languages, so a linguistic exchange would be primo.
I love learning, so I can keep my heart open to the teacher.
I will share my snacks and positivity,
