About Me

I'm an Australian living abroad for more than 10 years working in the international public health and development with a focus on improving the health and lives of women and youth. Currently based in Madagascar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet new people, get off the beaten track and get insider tips from locals who always know the best interesting places, away from the crowds and tourists. I also travel a lot for work, attending conferences etc so this is a good way to connect with people.
