Hello,

I love meeting new people, spending time outdoors, camping, exploring new places and animal and marine life. I am also very interested in learning about new cultures and ways of living more sustainably and ethically.

Passionate about human rights/social justice, activism, fair trade practices and volunteering. I love meeting people who challenge my ways of thinking and inspire me to be a better human.

I really enjoy exploring places where there are no other humans....beaches, rock pools, mountains and rivers are on the top of my list. Other interests include yoga, meditation, boxing, dancing, music, camping, snorkelling, playing pool, sharing tea, beer or red wine with friends, watching stand up comedy or crime documentaries, reading and travelling. I often choose my travel plans according to landscapes and wildlife.

Music and dance are important parts of my life and I am always interested in seeing and learning new styles of dance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've previously couch surfed and loved it. I like meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
