CURRENT MISSION

To continue travelling around the world and soaking up as many cultural experiences as I can within this lifetime. I am passionate about spending time in nature and seeing the beautiful landscapes of this planet. I have formerly travelled using workaway to find volunteer work and have stayed in many backpacker hostels.

ABOUT ME

I'm a long-term traveller from Australia seeking deep cultural experiences and wishing to forge meaningful friendships as I travel around the world. I have been travelling through Europe by doing volunteer work through helpx and workaway. Travelling is my biggest aspiration and I believe the years of youth are the best time to go and explore opportunities and express yourself in way that's meaningful to you. I live in the moment and take each experience as a valuable lesson. I have travelled solo to 6 continents, and I have stayed at countless hostels. I believe that the most valuable lessons I have learnt in life come from these very experiences of interacting with other human beings from all different walks of life.

I also grew up with social anxiety, which my travels have helped me overcome.

PHILOSOPHY

Best do what your heart desires while you're young, as you may not get the chance later on. It's an important part to growing and developing as a human being. I believe it is important to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones and seek enriching experiences, in order to expand our boundaries and skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to leave a meaningful impression for like-minded people and create great, lasting memories. I also want to become a good host when I get the chance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once in the United States and it was a good experience. I would like more opportunities to couchsurf with more people, who are varied and interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drank ayahuasca in Peru

Teach, Learn, Share

Through my extensive travel experiences, I have always learnt something useful that I can share with the world, my ayahuasca experience in Peru probably being what has taught me the most about myself. It allowed me to look at myself from an unbiased point of view, bringing my flaws to the surface and forced me to deal with them. It's a truly eye opening experience, and I will be happy to share my insights with whoever asks.
