ABOUT ME

Interested in art, music, food and flea markets. Looking forward to spending my time visiting galleries and exploring. I am a very considerate house guest (here in Melbourne I occasionally house/animal sit and have glowing references!) - and I see couchsurfing as a wonderful opportunity to meet fabulous like-minded people and potentially make new friends. There is no doubt that I will return your hospitality with gratitude, whether it be taking you out for dinner, whatever is appropriate! When I'm at home I work as a secretary part time to support my passion, I am an artist working in a variety of media.

PHILOSOPHY

learn. (will add to this)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Trekking to a high altitude in Schezuan province to see a Tibetan horse racing festival. Actually the whole Schezuan trip was amazing to be truthful.

教，学，和分享

One of the reasons for this current trip is to research some artwork that I've been working on. It would be wonderful for my host to be open to helping me with their local knowledge to find locations for my photographs.
As I mentioned in the 'about me' bit, I'm learning Zen Shiatsu and would be happy to practice on my treasured hosts (although I'm only learning, there are benefits to be had at my current level of skill!).
