Overview
About Me
Hey there! Coming up I'll be adventuring through Australia! My plan is to spend most of my time in Melbourne but am quite exited to check out a bit of Sydney and parts of NZ also. My travel time frame(s) are approx Jan 21-Feb 24.
I've been a clothing designer since about 97' and make a decent range of different designs. Onesies/jumpsuits, hoodies, and bikinis mostly altho I can make most anything between sewn, crocheted and machine knit.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In some of my previous adventures to Vancouver BC I've had great luck in couch surfing, between meeting new awesome people and getting some really great recommendations I would have never heard about. I don't mind cutting costs a bit, but more than anything I like meeting people and getting recommendations on cool spots(swim spots would be suuuper!).
