Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have stayed in hostels, motels and hotels, but nothing beats a local! I have had the pleasure of inviting friends from interstate to stay with me (prior to CS) and showing them my city and why I love it! Now I am enjoying being hosted.

Interests

Sports and general fitness, drinking a fine cocktail, listening to and enjoying live music, camping, hiking, movies and obscure events that conventional people wouldn't think to suss out.

Books - Autobiographies are my jam, I love learning from others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Thailand and Cambodia with my sister after her divorce from her husband of 20 years. Was so nice to firstly spend time with her, but to see her have an amazing time after a crappy year and to do it without having to compromise for her husband or her kids - she was able to do what she wanted.
If I hadn't purchased her flights, she wouldn't have come. At the start she felt selfish for not involving her kids, or for spending money that could have been spent elsewhere, but it was exactly what she needed - to be self-involved and to celebrate herself and now she has some wonderful memories and we are so much closer because of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have a website or a blog, I can help you optimise it for search engines and give you general best practice advice on all things website related.

Coming from a large family, I am also known as a keen listener and can offer an outsider's opinion.

I recently taught a CS host how to parallel park correctly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Free hugs
I love to cook. Want an Aussie treat? I can teach you! Maybe laminations, meringue for something sweet; I can throw a shrimp on the barbie or whip up a mean lamb roast!
