About Me

2.10.17
I am really enjoying the space I live, from the beautiful home and garden to the wider landscape. Also the community i live in is lovely; simple Aussie folk who are friendly and community minded in there own way.

It is great to have consistency and groundedness in my life at the moment, including a steady job, yoga and home.

A few tings i'm loving atm; the garden; the hills; myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

25.7.2018
Please read the previous entry as it is still pertinent.
I would like to add some details about our home and intentions, as opportunities are building.
The garden had a great summer, and although now in winter things are basic, there is action in the garden getting ready for summer.
We are holding a yoga festival here in November, so we are also getting ready for that.
The space offers great opportunities for yoga and mindfulness.

I genuinely wish to extend beautiful hospitality to others. I feel blessed to live in a beautiful space and it is great for me to have others around. note: Staying with us always needs to include the ok from my housemate.
I am looking to maybe start a woofing page and also air b&b. The former particularity as i am currently looking expand my gardens to a commercial level and assistance with that would be great.
At the moment i am new as a host to couch surfing (with two guests so far), so i am still feeling out the experience. As i guess i live in an area off the map so far i have messaged people with offers who seem to have similar interests, as i'm not sure how finding hosts works and i'm keen to be active on this site! :)

I wish to share my beautiful space with others.

I wish to assist rural Australia in being an interactive space of travelers, farmers, culture and landscape. By offering my home to stay, and community to engage with, i hope this is a valuable gem in that picture.

I enjoy sharing life with others, and particularly travelers are great to share space with.
