Hi there! I'm an Australian chick, living in Newcastle NSW with my husband, Karl.

I'm a musician that plays piano/keyboards and I sing, so on weekends I perform at gigs and weddings. Throughout the week I'm music tutor teaching piano and vocals. My husband Karl is studying to become an architect.

Here is my husbands profile on Courchsurfing:

My husband and I LOVE the outdoors - we go camping a lot, also going hiking in the snow during winter. We also love food and wine, great music, and good times!

I've recorded an EP called 'Late Night Drive' - check it out on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/album/6OhTuN9nwS0e2ZCmI9BYUk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people across the world and enjoy their cities as locals do! Not looking for rude or snooty people - just relaxed, fun and sharing people!
