About Me

-::Currently travelling in Europe::-

------------------------------------------

Hey, I'm based in North Warrandyte in the bushy outskirts of Melbourne :)

I've been studying Art Therapy, and am almost finished. I am particularly interested in alternative forms of counselling & psychology (hence art therapy). I've always been creatively minded & a drawer/painter but wish to work more with others now in the fields of mental health, social work & disability support.
I love gardening, plants & mycology (I think all kinds of mushrooms are fascinating), and always keen to learn more about these things.
Dogs are a big part of my life too, and spending time outdoors.
I'm a pretty social person, I like going out to music & alternative community events and being around friends, however I usually avoid the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host in Melbourne and surf often when I am travelling

**
for SURFERS:
We live on 5 acres of land in North Warrandyte, outside Melbourne city. There is always lots of work to be done on our property, like gardening and building things.
If you're keen to spend some time doing things in the garden or relaxing in nature, then you'll love it here. Its a 45 minute drive from Melbourne City Centre, and same on the train.
If you want to stay here, it would be best if you like dogs also. There's always one or two around :)

I had the pleasure of surfing around Europe and Asia, and meeting up with other CS'ers in cities around Europe and Australia.
