CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a new one

ABOUT ME

I am back in beautiful Coolum Beach, after living in China for 18 months where I was teaching English and had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful people through couchsurfing. I have always loved traveling, and plan to travel again later, but now it is time to be home for a while. I am working full time as well as doing an arts degree (distance education)so am not able to host at present.
