About Me

Hello travellers, I live in beautiful Cairns in a nice house with room to spare. I love getting out and about enjoying all tropical north Queensland has to offer, maybe going camping on the weekends. Couchsurfers are best for me on the weekends, but during the week is ok sometimes too. Town is a 10 minute drive from my house, or there is a bus stop not far away. I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a great set up for couchsurfing with a spare room, separate bathroom and swimming pool. I find couchsurfing is a great way to meet great people. I like other cultures and learning about how other people live and what they do. I also want to travel more so I may meet people I could stay with when I'm next on the road! It is fun to have travellers stay with me and I like to help people out and make their experience enjoyable and memorable. :0
