ABOUT ME

Right now I'm a busy bee. Independent. Inquisitive. Fearless border-line foolhardy. I trust my instincts but I know I have a guardian angel who has seen me through sticky situations. I'm a water baby - like to be in or near the sea or a river.

PHILOSOPHY

Walk with confidence in the direction of your dreams.

Everybody do their thing a little way different.

If you're complaining about something, try and fix it.

It's always alright in the end. If it's not alright it's not the end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting to... hosting and surfing and events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have 5 friends who have hosted and surfed and they like it. If it's good enough for them...

The first time I met Ivan was carnaval 2007 in Carupano, Venezuela through a mutual friend. Off we went to the bus station to pick up a Tyrolian guy he was hosting, then me and two friends stayed at his house. My friends took the hammock and the couch leaving me to share a double bed with a French girl. Good times!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Victoria Falls was pretty amazing. I got ridiculously excited when I scuba dived for the first time in Jamaica and saw a nurse shark.

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be great to meet someone who can help me improve my Spanish. Someone who doesn't mind pedantic questions, and is good at explaining stuff. I am more than happy to return the favour. I'd also love to meet a Portuguese speaker cos that is next on my (not very long) list of languages to learn. And anyone who knows anything about Economics.
