Hey Couchsurfing community!

I’m an Australian artist and musician.
I have a teen son who traveled with me for a year, and is now back in Australia.

I run a small business in Australia which offers a small range of Artwork products from my own art; tote bags, cushions etc. Whilst traveling , I’m looking forward to doing digital artworks to expand this line. I also plan to work on writing and illustrating a children’s book! I’m currently using watercolor (so don’t worry, no mess! Lol)

I’m a pretty quiet living person. I love reading, cooking, TV & Movies/Cinema, I like exploring places, and visiting unique cafes & restaurants. I love seeing historical buildings and architecture, art galleries etc. Experiencing different cultures is wonderful. I’m learning Spanish.
I also love nature and animals, and hope to see many creatures and landscapes that we don’t have in Australia.

Music is also a huge passion for me; I’m a singer, songwriter, and am learning keyboard/piano. I really love singing for church, and also enjoy many other different genres and styles, I have very eclectic taste.

Our adventure has sadly been radically changed; first by Covid, and then by some health issues for me. I’m now awaiting surgery. So I’m living a quiet life, keeping as active as possible, house sitting some wonderful places and pets, and renting in between. Couch surfing I’m hoping will be a lovely way to meet new people, and experience some of a location, in between house sits.

Couchsurfing is a new adventure, but I have done lots of house sitting, and can provide excellent references from them.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love the concept of CouchSurfing as a way to not only see this amazing world, but to be able to really connect with locals and experience the community wherever I go.
What a wonderful way to meet interesting people of different nations and cultures, and be immersed in the real nature of a Country!
I also love the opportunity for a local to give us tips and advice, and hopefully make traveling a safer experience too.

教，学，和分享

I would love to share your culture and knowledge of your local area and Country. I love eating foods from all different countries, and experiencing how others live and do community.

I teach Visual Art, beginners guitar, and can guide with singing tips. I was also a Ballroom Dance instructor. I can share tips for starting/running a small business, social media etc. I can cook pretty well, it’d be nice to exchange recipes.
I’m learning Spanish and Piano, and any tips for children’s writing would be awesome! I’d also love to go sailing!
