About Me

Irish-Aussie girl living and traveling around South East Asia teaching English and doing different help exchange programs as I go.

About me....?
Incense-burning hippie. Humanitarian. Activist. Politics nerd. Traveler. Imagination enthusiast. Idea addict. Uncheckable box. Collector of beautiful memories. Odd-sock-wearer. Whiskey-drinking, peace-loving anarchist. TEFL teacher currently in JB.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just joined up because I'm looking for a more integrated traveling experience that will allow me more ways to interact with the places I visit and the people there, rather than just the touristy side of things so I'm hoping couch surfing will be one way I can do that and meet some great people!!

Interests

Food, friends, good conversation, interesting ideas, wine, photography, philosophy, socialising, reading, all things beach related, meditation, learning, adventuring, exploring, connecting with people, the gym, my dogs, anything that involves the outdoors such as hiking, camping, horse riding... and the list goes on :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I have totally eclectic taste in music... you can find everything and anything on my playlist lol!

When it comes to books, my reading habits are pretty well summed up by these four making up my 'travel library' currently :)

- 'The Spirit Level', by R. Wilkinson. & K. Pickett (Politics & Sociology)
- 'A Lover's Discourse' by Roland Barthes (Classical Literature)
- 'Whatever Happened to Good and Evil?' by R. Shafer-Landau (Philosophy)
- 'A New Earth' by Eckhart Tolle (spirituality)

Teach, Learn, Share

Ummm... I'm not sure what I can teach aside from English but if you or someone you know would like some help in that area I'm more than happy to do what I can.

Hoping to learn.... all that I can in a lifetime! Enjoy learning most of all how to see life from new perspectives and having my mind opened :)
