About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. —Henry David Thoreau
ABOUT ME
So, AbOuT me> I'm 175cm tall. I consider myself pretty easy to get along with, I'm sure I can hold a conversation with just about anyone, and after all I'm Australian and we do easy going very well ;) At the moment I'm working as a sailing yacht stewardess, it's a seasonal job that pays for travels. I've just been working the summer in Turkey, now visiting friends in Europe. South America is next, I'm very excited. I have a degree in Urban Planning, but I never used it. Turns out beaurarcry is definitely not for me. I'd next like to study sculpture/ product design, maybe in Europe, I prefer the creative side of life. The appeal of sleeping on your couch is not just a product of non existent financial planning skills, I am interested to get to know you, have some laughs and maybe make some new friends!
PHILOSOPHY
keeping things interesting. experiencing everything and anything simultaneously. being young, learning, making mistakes, the road. dedicating my twenties to that.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
"Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good fortune;
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Strong and content, I travel the open road....
I inhale great draughts of space;
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.
I am larger, better than I thought;
I did not know I held so much goodness"
-Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
