About Me

CURRENT MISSION

About to embark on the year of a lifetime in Europe, but catch me first in Aus if you can!

ABOUT ME

Melbourne born and bred. I have a preoccupation with sports of all varieties - I have devoted years to gymnastics, swimming, athletics and mostly hockey (field hockey, not the ice stuff!); but enjoy most sports, especially new ones. Currently studying at Monash University - attempted chemical Engineering which was not to my taste at all, now happily studying Environmental Engineering and Arts so that one day I might woo the world with my words into being a little more sustainable.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in sustainability, moreso because it entails balance and longevity than because I like to hug trees. On a lighter note, I like a certain MNC slogan: Life is a great big canvas...throw all the paint at it you can!!! Dam right!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Relatively new to couchsurfing. I have attended a few events in my home town of Melbourne and ind oing so have already met some very interesting and outgoing people from diverse backgrounds. Looking to undertake some surfing in Europe.

Interests

I enjoy reading and blogging about my travels. Music is anything from does It Offend You, Yeah? to the Wombats and the Strokes. I love dogs, fresh air, coffee, walking and sharing stories with interesting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Grand Canyon in January 2010, day after a heavy snow storm, coated with 2 ft of snow. Morning, afternoon and birdseye views all returned the same, beautiful glistening panorama.

Teach, Learn, Share

Balance - we are constantly in pursuit of balance which is necessary to live a happy life; without regret, longing or burnout. We also need to balance our consumption of Earth's resources with the ability for them to be regenerated, so that people and ecosystems can continue living well into the future.
