CURRENT MISSION

Just to enjoy life!

The best time to send a request is ten days or less before your arrival date.

The great part about hosting is that you are meeting travellers in your own city and it makes you feel like you are still travelling.
I really enjoy meeting travellers and I've had some amazing adventures while travelling abroad.

One of the reasons I started travelling was because my parents died when I was very young and I knew I wanted to make the most of my time on this planet.

Life is too short so make your time count.

A few things about me;
-I enjoy travel.
-I enjoy watching movies.
-I think I'm a positive person.
- I love wildlife
-I enjoy bush walking
-I listen to lots of music.
-I love coffee
-I really enjoyed my teaching.

When travelling, I enjoy getting out of the tourist areas and exploring laneways and meeting locals. At times I've been in some dodgy situations, but for some reason everything always turns out well for me.

I live very close to Keon Park Train Station which is about 30 minutes from the CBD and then a short 5 minute walk to my house. It's very easy to get to my house from Melbourne airport.

A few very simple rules to make your stay enjoyable.
-Enjoy your stay
-Respect my house.

I'm very much an outdoor person who loves nature. I just love all forms of wildlife.

PHILOSOPHY

To live a happy an uncomplicated life.
