CURRENT MISSION

To grow old, feign alzheimers and be 'that crazy cat lady'

ABOUT ME

I enjoy the novelties of life and the thrills of travelling. I love partying, snuggling up with a book, and playing board games. It’s necessary to do things in moderation after all…

PHILOSOPHY

Cameras should not be allowed on dancefloors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a student-run housing co-operative in Sydney. It is phenomenal. While co-op policy means I can't let couch surfers stay, I am always up for showing people around and getting them involved in some of the events we run.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every couchsurfing experience I've had has been amazing. Probably the craziest story was while couchsurfing with a friend in Beijing. The police randomly dropped by about her immigration papers while my friend was out. Try expressing "We are not squatting in the apartment, we were staying with a friend for a few days until our train to Shanghai"in charades and you'll see the humour.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

TRAVEL. It's always surprising the moments that seem most amazing in retrospect- a sudden 'wow' moment on a trek, a hillarious bus ride, watching a beach sunrise with a friend, a chance encounter, a stupid dare ...

In sydney, probably the most amazing thing I've done is dance to 'in the navy' surrounded by a bunch of sailors in uniform. That or participate in a crazy 60s style impromptu dance party on a public building.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give free counselling I guess? Anything else I know is essentially random trivia.
