About Me

Grew up in Sydney but now live on the Sunshine Coast Queensland where i have been for 20 years.
Have 4 grown up children and 4 grandchildren
I'm single and now retired and looking to do lots of travelling around the world.
Have previously travelled a lot mainly in UK and Europe but looking to see more.

I recently hosted a French couple out of the blue (privately) that needed some short term accommodation. We are staying in touch so has turned out to be a lovely experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea that you can meet local people and get away from the Hotel seclusion.
I have stayed with families in Spain on another platform which was great experience so want to open my horizons on couchsurfing

I am looking to travel for an extended period all over the world and hopefully meet people on my way and make new friends and make the trip memorable.
