ABOUT ME

I'm Australian and love travelling, especially to mountains and the coast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing! I've had many folks crash on my couch but I've always lived in share houses my housemates weren't into couchsurfing for some reason? When I get my own place one day I'll definitely host!

Interests

I'm interested in music of all sorts of genres, I love going to music festivals, especially dark psy and especially if I have been volunteering there and contributing to the magic. Actually I love all sorts of volunteering, usually related to education or sustainable farming/permaculture. Trying to make positive changes to the world, even if they seem tiny. Gigs, giggling, smiling, swimming, nudie beaches, any beaches, being naked anywhere, mushrooms, moss, loving, hiking, dancing, tattoos, spirals, vipassana, walking barefoot in the forest, the light of the full moon on an empty beach, bonfires, crystals, boardgames, beer, red wine with friends (new and old), and open to any experiences that come my way!
