About Me

I've lived in Brisbane, Australia for my entire life so far. This year I decided to spend the winter season in New Zealand which was amazing!! I had the best time meeting new people and experiencing new things. I'm hooked on travel and can't wait to do some more. I've started planning a European trip starting mid 2018. I am so excited.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I first heard of CS I immediately thought this is an excellent idea! What a great way to meet new and completely different people. I love the idea of paying it forward. I am happy to help people out in my home town by giving them a place to stay, company and advice, because I know that when I'm somewhere new and out of my comfort zone I will really appreciate the same thing. Now that I've hosted people in my hometown and been hosted in a foreign country I deeply appreciate and respect the power of this community.

Interests

I love hitting the pub for a game of pool and a drink or ten. I'm equally happy staying home and bulk watching tv shows or playing board/card games. I love getting out into nature, whether it be a beach trip or a hike through the mountains. I have the travel bug and want to explore as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to just about anything. I love songs you can belt out the lyrics to in the car or shower!
I often quote 'stupid funny' movies. Billy Madison "Conditioner is better, I leave the hair silky and smooth". Anchorman "Where did you get those clothes, from the toilet store?" Hot Rod "You look pretty. I said you look shitty!" Then again I love serious movies especially if they're true. 12 years a slave and All good things for example.
I love reading too when I get a chance. I'm a big Harry Potter nerd!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skinny dipping before the crack of dawn in the freezing cold Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown, New Zealand with a complete stranger felt pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Decide whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved.
If it is..........STOP WORRYING!

10 points to Gryffindor if you know that quote :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really enjoy listening to what others have to say and people tend to fascinate me with their world views.
I can't resist a night out for dancing and drinking.
I'll happily drop everything and go on an adventure with you.
If you'd rather stay in and hang out, let's cook dinner and chat or watch movies.
