CURRENT MISSION

To maintain my desire to meet all the people in all the places, while I'm glued to one place doing something else that I love.

ABOUT ME

I've always wanted to travel - I want to go everywhere, and meet everyone I can. I've been to SE Asia, the USA and Europe. I like travelling with friends, but I also love to travel alone and meet new friends along the way.

I'm passionate about positive social change and am not afraid to express my opinions and ideas. I like to hear other peoples' ideas too. I'm also a vegetarian, non-smoker, and a lover of books and all things words. I'm curious about my world, and I'd love for you to show me yours.

I love walking around and exploring inside cities as well as outside of them. I like indoor activities, like art galleries, museums and quirky cafes, and outdoors things like hiking.

(You can see more about my previous travels and more photos of me on my blog/website. There's a link on this page)

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is good until they prove otherwise. Everyone deserves respect. Everyone deserves love.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can give love* and hugs and smiles for a bed/couch/floor space. I can also share with you lots of things about Australia, NYC, SE Asia, the Balkans, and Istanbul, take you through a yoga sequence, or just talk for hours about anything we can think of.
*Positive regard and affirmation, don't get ideas.

I'm very conscious of others, and will try to help out where I can (I wash dishes, I'm quiet if you want me to be, and I'm clean).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have one reference, from a lovely guy who hosted me in Dresden. I found it a bit difficult to surf my way through Europe as I had intended, mostly because I was moving around without plans. But I've had some great experiences with Airbnb and I also survive hostels without other backpackers wanting to kill me, so that's something.

兴趣

Books, (vegetarian) food and cooking, outdoors, indoors, (nice) people, yoga, bouldering. I just like to do things, and I'm not too picky about what those things are!

音乐、电影和书籍

These are some of the books I've read in the past 18 months.
- Junkie, William Burroughs
- Loaded, Christos Tsiolkas
- Post Office, Charles Bukowski
- Cloudstreet, Tim Winton
- Only The Sky Is Forever, Sean Binkly (this is a friend's book, and it's really good and it's cheap on Amazon!)
- Frida: A Novel Based on the Life of Frida Khalo, Barbara Mujica
- White Teeth, Zadie Smith
- The Road, Cormac McCarthy
- The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood

My music tastes change with my mood, but something calm and/or dreamy is usually a safe bet. Most played recently: Chet Faker, Courtney Barnet, cln, Alt-J, Hayden James, James Morrison, Glass Animals, and (as always) the xx

I'm not a huge movie person. I'll watch a movie with you if you want, but I'd really rather go outside.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I took myself around the world with one bag (okay two) and no plans, and met other wonderful people doing he same things. Anybody could do it, but not everyone does.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to do some yoga things and a headstand, how to make vegetables taste good, and how to speak Australian.

I cannot teach you any jokes, because I don't know any (that are good enough to admit to).
