About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting fat on ideas

ABOUT ME

We have been back in Brisbane for a year now after having have spent the previous 2 years travelling and living in the UK and europe. We would love to show you some of the local side of Brisbane.

We love life and want to absorb and experience as much as we can of the world. We are concerned about the world, environment and its people.

Please feed us with your ideas!

We are both quite creative, proactive and imaginative people. We want to meet inspiring and likeminded people and get excited about helping achieve something meaningful. We don't just want to travel, we want to experience what it would be like living in a place.

We are interested in getting involved in DIY and social justice projects, like Food Not Bombs or community social centres. We want to find a alternative way of living.

We are GREEN GREEN GREEN and are well interested in conservation of this planet and its animal inhabitants.

We are both vegetarians, and can share some cooking ideas with you that even meat eaters will enjoy.

We are not as close as we once were and are living apart so you may just get to meet one of us at the moment.

Oh and neither of us smoke.

At the moment you will be hosted by Jess.

Jess and Deanna
