About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To explore new places, meet new people and expand my horizons
ABOUT ME
I'm a very fun, twenty something, oldest child, rational thinking virgo who has recently decided to embrace the notion that life is beyond my control. After years of study and work I have decided to throw caution to the wind and travel. I'm hoping to spent the next couple of years travelling, working when needing and embracing a slower pace in life.
PHILOSOPHY
- Try everything once
- Treat people how you would like to be treated
- Never regret anything, learn from everything
- Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all
- The only thing worse than failure is having never tried
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None yet but very interested to try it out and figure out why so many people love it!
Interests
Anything and everything. My interest are plentiful and varied. Some days I love talking about serious things such as Politics (my first love!)while other days I like having fun and being a little bit silly. Also enjoy anything that involves getting out and about in the world and seeing and experiencing new things. Recently I've also developed an interest in languages and whilst its frustrating at times it has ignited a passion i didn't know I had.

Music, Movies, and Books
Love crappy girly romance movies where everything ends up happy in the end & movies that make you think, especially those that have clever endings that shock you.
Enjoy most music genres, especially pop (guilty!), gospel, reggae and anything acoustic.
Couldn't live without books... I think reading is one of the most enjoyable things to do and those that don't enjoy it simply havn't found the right book yet.
Right now I'm in love and would recommend the following books:
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Obama's Wars
- Rise of the Ruddbot
- Nelson Mandela: Conversations with myself
- Renegade: The making of Barack Obama
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiking the mountains of New Zealand, scuba diving off the coast of Fiji, staring at volanoes and glaciers in Chile, driving through the national parks of Africa, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge...
Everyday I see something that amazes me and makes me realise the best thing we can do each day is wake up and give life 100%.
