About Me

Queer permie from Brisbane roadtripping down south. Looking for fun experiences with locals and other travellers. Love a drink and a little ruckus, also love a tea and share a home cooked meal. INFJ personality type, am very easy going and a sweetheart ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed a lot when I solo backpacked for a year through Europe when I was 20 and had such incredible exchanges with locals who so graciously welcomed me into their homes. I love meeting new people and sharing stories with fellow travellers. A gal just wants to have some fun :p

Interests

Outdoorsy and active, enjoy hiking and exploring new terrains. Love to take film photography of my travels and portraits of the people I love. I play piano and practice pottery, and really love to garden. I am the type to have all my fingers and toes in all the pies.
