CURRENT MISSION

To be immersed in many different cultures and have new and colourful experiences in every day life.

ABOUT ME

Fun, kind, honest, trust-worthy and adventurous. Likes to relax, and think it's important not to take things too seriously. Has time for friends and family. Also likes to get things done and loves meeting new people, creating new experiences and learning along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

- To give wholeheartedly without ever expecting anything in return.
- To step outside my comfort zone because the results are usually self-growth and new, fun, life-changing experiences.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Love being part of the CS community, meeting new people, sharing experiences and interests and having a lot of fun doing this. So far have only been CS visitor, while I have travelled in Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To be able to meet with new people and learning from their local knowledge... and hopefully make some good friends from the experience also. Have had tips and offers from our hosts previously which has turned out to be immensely helpful.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

1) Burning man festival, 2011. Set in the Nevada desert this was like no other festival I have been to. Everywhere you looked something new, weird and wonderful would catch your eye. From Art installations in the middle of the desert to the elaborately decorated art carts (like floats in a parade), to the hundreds of topless women riding on bikes in the "critical tits" event, to the crazy yet amazing costumes people had put immense amounts of time and energy into creating. I have been back twice since it was so fantastic!

2) Petra, Jordan, 2012. From the moment you walk through the valley of the gorge leading to the Petra buildings you know this is going to be an awe-inspiring place. Emerging from the gorge and seeing the treasury grow into sight as you see it in full view is a pretty great experience (this description doesn't really cut it and you have to go there to see it for yourself.) All of the buildings (and there are many) carved out of sand-stone by the Nabaateans are extravagant and was such a great day of exploring.

3) My 29th birthday... San Sebastian, amazing food and wine at Arzak. The day started out with great food for lunch at a small tapas bar in San Sebastian with my boyfriend where we ate Ox cheek (cooked perfectly in an amazing jus), Pigs Ear (something that scared me immensely but was delicious), cheese risotto and tortellini with wine of course. But the best part was still to come.... Arzak (3 michelin star restaurant). Food looked, smelt, tasted spectacular. I wish I could describe it accurately but I am too overwhelmed by it to write it down. Matched with some amazing wine we had course after course after course. Everything was a hit, nothing a miss. Very special day.

教，学，和分享

I have a good understanding of craft beer, particularly in Australia, so if you have an interest in beer or even know nothing about beer I'm sure you could pick my brains and learn a little more.

If you have any injuries or body-related queries, being an osteopath I'm sure I could give you an answer.

I want to learn about places of interest in every new town/country I visit so I can explore them and not miss the good bits.
