CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world! Or... parts of it at least

ABOUT ME

I live in Maryborough 3 hours north of Brisbane and teach work skills to job seekers. I grew up in Bundaberg then lived in Brisbane and Adelaide before moving to the US for 7 years. So have some good local knowledge. I'm presently transforming a backyard into a mini farm to grow our own fruits and vegetables.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your heart! If you can't lay it all on the line for something you are passionate about, are you really passionate about it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm showing people around my town to make sure they get the local view. I'm looking forward to surfing as well.
