My name is Ivana, I am from Melbourne, Australia and am avid traveller, mainly through South America

I am new to couch surfing and am finally open to it to get to know a place through locals and have a deeper understanding of their culture and customs, where ever that may be

Open to new experiences and will never reject something based on predjudices or conceptions

Life is to live, enjoy and learn and I try to live by this every day trying to make the most of each day by filling it up with experiences, wisdom, personalities and joy,

I have worked in a range of fields and am ultimately independent it can range from masseuse, geographer, ngo worker and manager, working as manual labour on farms, teaching art workshops, English, Spanish -- whatever arises I go with what is presented to me

I particularly enjoy sharing and learning local foods, beverages (a cocktail made of fine liquor) and music, the roots and history of each country
I am out going but would say I like to keep it low key and search for a level of tranquility in all aspects in life.

I am drawn to countries that will challenge me, push my boundaries and expand my borders and outside of my society
I particularly enjoy smaller towns around nature and enjoy camping, getting off the beaten track and staying away from 'the crowd' and stepping outside of the norm.

I am particularly fond of Latin America having stayed there for 2 and a half years and I am still searching for my future home in this continent

Because I am new on couch surfing I have put my personal information here so hosts can find more about me
