I have discovered travel rather late in life and enjoy planning the next place to go. I have one son who is 24 and he lives an hour away from me. I live with my mother and she is my close friend.
I am still working full time but would love to show you around the south coast of NSW and even some sights of Sydney if there is time but only on the weekend.
I enjoy trekking, going to the beach, a nice drop of red wine, and seeing live music as much as I enjoy just being at home. I live in a smoke free environment.
I can offer one bedroom with double bed and shared bathroom with me.
Lately I have been receiving a lot of requests to stay at very short notice. Please don't contact me within 24 hours of needing a place to stay particularly during the week. It is just not practical for me, and my mother is very elderly and can't manage, I am sorry to say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I intend to travel a lot over the next few years and enjoy being among local people rather than being a part of a tour. If I can reciprocate kindness, by inviting you into my home, then I feel I am participating in a more genuine way. Life is full of give and take, and I don't believe we can take without giving.
