ABOUT ME

I am energetic, enthusiastic and love people and life. While I like to engage in many different activities - from watching theatre or music concerts to playing sport, I also love to read or sit in a cafe with a coffee and watch the world go by. I love travelling and meeting new people. I love hanging out with locals and getting to experience the true culture of a country - not just checking out the tourist haunts. I am also respectful and polite.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The heart of any city is its people - and I'm keen to meet people from all corners of the globe.

Interests

For the past 13 years I have worked in marketing and public relations in several performing arts centres in Brisbane. I love live music, theatre, contemporary dance, contemporary circus, film, comedy and photography. I generally see a few live shows a week. I also love food, wine and hanging out with friends. I enjoy reading and movies. And, I love my dogs - two gorgeous brussels griffons (petit brabancon). I also like running, gym and yoga.
