Current mission: Use the lessons I have learned through travelling in my everyday life.

I was working as an art teacher and face painter for kids back in Australia, I recently moved to Berlin to set up a base as a more traditional artist, living and working out of my studio making oil paintings.
Now I'm off again on new adventures

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty"
- Albert Einstein

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have welcomed people to my couch and been a tour guide of the road less traveled in Sydney. Then I left the nest and had an incredible experience being hosted by so many amazing people. I am planning to host people again as soon as I get my own place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All have been positive, rewarding experiences. I am so happy to be involved in the site & have recommended it to like minded friends

Interests

I love painting, drawing and printmaking. I spend a lot of time around animals and children, amongst other things, they teach us to be free.
