ABOUT ME
Quirky personality, funny, intelligent, very friendly, spiritual, social but also introverted, unconventional, respectful, down to earth, sunny :)
I am at my happiest when i am with nature.
PHILOSOPHY
"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein
Ive only ever come across these sort of quotes from spiritual philosophers, but the fact that one of the greatest scientists of all time said this, then wow, it adds a whole lot more weight to this stream of thought. I whole heartedly believe this.
"Everyday is a learning day." This is something we mantra to the kids at school, but i think its application is ageless.
Simplicity. Beauty. Accountability. Happiness. Responsibility and Respect.
Some words. Responsibility is a big one. It s not like we can all go live on another planet somewhere. We should try and leave this planet in a better way than what we were born into; for the kids! This is very important.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have joined up whilst traveling but will definitely host when I can when I get back home!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Ive just recently signed but I like I the fact when u get to a new place you can just hang out with people for a chat food or drink. I have met some cool people on here!
I slept on couches all over europe, but most of the peoples who's couches i slept on are not on here. They were friends i knew from their travels in Australia previously.

Teach, Learn, Share
I might be able to take you to an Indigenous festival where you can learn about one of the greatest and longest living cultures in human history. I like food so i can cook and (maybe) share my recipes. I would like to learn about anything and everything really. Anything that stimulates my mind.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can open up my home to you, but if I do, please share the love bysharing something from you or your home country, ie cook a meal, help with the dishes after eating, playing some music, singing dancing etc chip in for fuel if we go on a road trip etc.
