ABOUT ME
Heya! I am new to couch surfing, but have already made my couches known to many and have travelled a little bit :)
I love animals, the earth, free spirits, fun and humorous people, open mindedness and connecting with others!
I enjoy going on little adventures, reading books, playing music, sharing laughs (very important to me!) and talking beliefs and life!
I'm a vegetarian and animal lover. I have 2 cats and a bunny at home and I help run a small business called The Vegan Teahouse in the Inner West of Sydney.
I'm pretty easy going, vibrant, down to earth with bursts of energy when I'm excited, fun, sometimes cheeky but always empathetic.
I strive to be as honest, open minded and willing as possible. I believe in equality all over and am a supporter of radical acceptance and self love.
I enjoy the opinions of others, as long as one is open enough to share a space with different ones.
I'm also more than happy to strike up a conversation if you have any questions or feel like a chat :)
PHILOSOPHY
Home is where the rump rests.
Chin up, heart out

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
So many to think of!
The last two events that have taken my breath away while traveling recently (and that have been awesome in every sense of the word) was while in Mongolia having a town of children jump over me, play skipping with and write me letters as I left the town. It was so humbling!
And while in Lake Baikal recently I hiked up a massively steep hill and watched the sun set over the snow-capped mountains, surrounding the lake, while colour danced over the water. It was so beautiful and made me so grateful to be alive.
There's so many more things to list - Ask me!
Teach, Learn, Share
All of the above!
I want to imurse myself in culture and learn a language so come at me with your knowledge and wisdom and maybe I can share some life experiences with you too, or help you with English.
