About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To host travelers who wish to stay 20 MINUTES NORTH OF CAIRNS at TRINITY BEACH. I plan to spend 3 months every year in a different country, living life to the full and giving a helping hand along the way ; )

ABOUT ME

"Carpe Diem"
After a long battle with cancer I am fit, healthy and loving every second of life. I surfed and backpacked through Asia in 2010 on my own (At my age).... My life's goal is to really live, travel for 3 months every year, learn about other countries, and cultures. I will also try to give a little something of myself along the way.
My house is 20 minutes from Cairns and 15 from the Airport by car. A 10 minute walk to the beach and 2 minute walk to public transport.

PHILOSOPHY

To live...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with dolphins in the wild just after sunrise at my beach. It was surreal, I was on a natural high for days.

Climbed the alps in Austria, I was on top of the world.
