About Me

I'm low maintenance, up for any adventures, spontaneous, bad at navigation but great at relaxing and enjoying the world around me. Prefer being outside to inside. Former roller derby girl, and home-brew ginger beer maker (should really get back into homebrew). Love nature and hikes and can camp pretty well anywhere. Love music festivals like Blues Fest and Woodford.

I've lived in Toowoomba for most of my life and am city proud. Home on the hill!

Can sleep in any space big or small, and have an airline blanket collection to help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host and surf! Have had amazing experiences as a host in Toowoomba and Dalby, Queensland, and have couch-surfed in Australia and abroad, especially in Japan, which was just amazing. Getting the inside scoop on a town makes a huge difference to the experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many books (and zines). Love travel books, biographies, true stories and especially graphic novels (yes, I love comic books - mainly published titles by Vertigo). End up reading the news more than books lately tbh, so much happening in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled Australia, explored national parks, fell off scooters, broke cameras, got gastro, lost in Japan, lost in India, lost in the world, helped my dad through cancer treatment, grew up in a big family, been in and out of love, you know, the usual. Been on a few cruises, though I wouldn't rate them as much as flying on a plane.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The Toowoomba lifestyle! We're slowly getting more famous as a region, but there's more to do. We've even got out own airport now!
