About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun-loving chick from Sydney who is always up for an adventure and some exploring. I love to travel so decided to make a career out of it =) Hoping after spending 2013 in Berlin, I will have saved enough for a trip to South America..and beyond!

PHILOSOPHY

The world is my playground.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a true story! "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert, "Some Girls" by Jillian Lauren and Natascha Kampusch's story have stuck with me the most. On the other hand, my inner geek can't deny the awesome world of fantasy, love myself some LotR, Game of Thrones, Thor and anything involving dragons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many! Running wild and free in Europe for a year is probably my number 1, there were too many amazing experiences to share. Number 2 and 3 would probably be riding an elephant in Thailand and white water rafting in New Zealand, especially going down those 7 metre waterfalls =P

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be your tandem partner! Offering fluent English and Chinese and am hoping to improve my German and maybe pick up some Spanish =) I'm also a great tour guide for those visiting Sydney or Berlin.
