Hi, my name is Shailend. I was born in Fiji and grew up in Brisbane. I love meeting people from all over the world, and all walks of life. Having dinner and drinks with interesting people is my idea of a great night out, or in!
I have been told a number of times that I am an excellent tour guide ! I have a great knowledge of Brisbane and it's attractions/interesting bits, and love to share that with newcomers.
I have a beautifully decorated apartment (in an eclectic Balinese/Indian/Moroccan style!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share drinks , especially good Whisky! Sharing stories is another passion of mine. Conducting fun and informative tours of Brisbane is something else that I like to share/teach.
And wisdom/philosophy:
"Life is one great big adventure OR nothing at all"
"There are no strangers, just friends that we haven't yet met"
"If you are not growing, then you are stagnant. If you are stagnant you are as good as dead"
“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.”
― Nora Roberts
