Hello, I am Mary - i'm a film producer in and entrepreneur. I like music, film, the great outdoors & gardening, singing, parties (i throw good ones), dancing, cooking - especially greek/cypriot food, and curls.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet people & have new experiences. i've traveled by myself a lot and last year had the opportunity to do four months around Europe, Morocco and then finally in India where I was hosted by the most beautiful people who made my time away extremely rich. I am in Melbourne now and hosting surfers, then I will be in Europe again later in the year.
