I am a New Zealander who has lived in Adelaide, Australia, for the past 38 years. As children have grown up, I no longer need to run a business to support them, so I am travelling more and, when I am in Adelaide, I am happy to share my lovely home with other travellers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning to travel in France during summer, 2023 and the United States during fall 2023. Couchsurfing offers me a way to meet people as I travel, to explore places beyond the tourist trail and to make my budget go further.

In my 20s, I hitchhiked from Paris through Spain and Portugal to Morocco.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching, learning and sharing are all part of the same wonderful dance
