Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recommended by friends. Living on more of a budget. Also I have my own space, so I can host now too! Love the idea of meeting new people and sharing my space. And staying with locals when I travel. Locals always know what not to miss!

Music, Movies, and Books

Tom waits
Leonard Cohen

I also love to dance so anything with a beat (plus I lived in London in the 1990's.... so love some good doof)

Movies: not much of a TV person, but don't mind some fantasy....
Books: Mostly I am rereading all my childhood classics with my kids.... so back into Harry Potter (it is still good).... but I love to read anything if it is good. I travel a bit so audio books rock....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to India on my own at 19 without even knowing where on the globe it was, or anything about the country actually. I was in London and cold and had a limited budget. It was warmer there, but boy did I grow up fast!

Went to Indian on my own at 19 without even knowing where it was on the global map, all I knew is it was warmer than London and I needed a break.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ecologist - I know the environment in Australia.... I have a forest science background so pretty good on the trees, plants and animals.... I work with birds and bats now so have some interesting things to share there....
My small town is from Mad Max and Ned Kelly.... a bit of history with Hollywood so to speak.... it's cute and quaint and where gold was first discovered in Australia.
