I'm an American/Australian living on the Gold Coast, the tourist mecca of this great country.

I work full-time, so you'll have to be pretty self-sufficient. I'm happy to include you in any shenanigans that I get involved in.

I'm a librarian. If you can't trust a librarian, who can you trust?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I traveled the world when I was younger. Now that I have kids, I'm a bit more anchored. I can't take them out to the world just yet, but I'm hoping to bring some of it in to them.
