About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Waiting for COVID19 travel restrictions to lift. Jed and I have postponed our wedding and travel. 😔

ABOUT ME

I completed my Peace Corps service in Fiji in 2014 then sailed to Australia to learn how to surf. I fell in love with an Aussie 😍 After a brief stint riding a bicycle across the northern USA, with Bike and Build, to raise money and awareness for affordable housing, I am now back in Australia to live with my partner, Jed. I love playing sports, being outdoors, and being goofy.

PHILOSOPHY

"My country is the world and my religion is to do good."- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted fellow Peace Corps volunteers and their friends in my settlement/village in Fiji. Now I share a 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of Newcastle, NSW with my boyfriend, Jed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

We like to be active! I also enjoy arts and crafts. I wish I could rescue a dog, but our apt won't allow pets.
