About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the culture of Italy, meet lovely people and have fun!

ABOUT ME

They would probably say that I'm a bit quirky or wacky. Maybe very artistically ambitious and bit of a workaholic. Easy going and considerate with and very curious. I have a special way of perceiving the world and am constantly thinking up art ideas so I never get bored. Even boring things are interesting to me. Very, very polite ( some times too much) and very enthusiastic.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would have them treat you. Live and let live!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet but 2 travellers I have met highly recommended it and said it was absolutely fantastic way to meet people and get to know a place.

Interests

My main interest in life is art . I have been engaged with artistic pursuits from an early age in both field of theatre performance and visual art. In visual arts arena I have studying and practiced drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and textiles. In performance arena I have studied and practiced acting and set design, scripts writing, dance, comedy and performer, set designer. I initiated and managed a huge Cabaret show that involved a cast of 120,. My second passion is the environment and I have been a dedicated volunteer for environmental groups and organisations. My favourite thing in the world is to be outdoors in the wilderness away from the hustle and bustle and in a natural environment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done in my life is to move from the big smoke Sydney to the remote town in Central Australia, Alice Springs and work and live in that spectacular landscape and have cross cultural experience with Indigenous people of the centre through my teaching role at Bachelor Institute. The second most amazing thing I have done is produce the Cats Meow Cabaret Show which involved about 120 cast and brought so much happiness and joy and skills development to my community which I know and love as Alice Springs.

Teach, Learn, Share

At the moment I'm learning a lot from people that are confident and cool and kind.
