Having been born in England I travelled by ship with my parents to Australia at the age of six and have since raised a family run a business and travelled as a care giver to a disabled person to many parts of the world.
I still enjoy travelling meeting people of other cultures, trying the local cuisine of Europe.
I dabble as a self taught artist and have experimented with many types of media.
I have a lovely home central in the Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia where it is perfect weather one day and magnificent the next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Planning another trip to Europe I would find it exciting to enjoy meeting locals who have that intimate knowledge of their area, proud of their history and may also like to visit my home in Australia.
I am not too sure whether I have filled the tags right but would enjoy helping anyone with conversational English.
