About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I am based in Cape Town for the next few months (Aug to Nov 2017) doing a yoga teacher training and designing my next range for my jewellery label 'Mermaid Collective'. I would love to connect with new friends and see and experience Cape Town from a locals perfective. I love Surfing and Free Diving too if your up for a salty adventure.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, fun, easy going Aussie girl with a passion for travelling and a ever changing horizon. I love meeting great people, gaining new perpectives and having genuine cultural experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over my years travelling I have really come to realize it is not just the destination but it's the people. I love meeting new people and making new friends and I thank couch surfing for being such a great tool for this. There is nothing more special than viewing a destination through the eyes of a local. I look forward to returning the generosity I have received when I eventually make a base for myself. If all goes to plan it shall be in the Northern NSW region in the near future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing experiences I have had is surfing with a pod of 50 dolphins of the isolated coast of Western Australia.

Recently I volunteered on a Great White Shark Research boat and being up close with these amazing sharks daily blew my mind. Such incredible creatures.
