CURRENTLY NOT HOSTING SORRY! HOUSE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Hi I'm Shelby! I am originally from Melbourne until I met my partner and we decided to travel Australia. We traveled up the east coast and ended up living on magnetic Island off Townsville for 18 months, we then decided to move to the Gold coast for more job opportunities. I am easy going, love meeting new people. My boyfriend and I love birds we own a black cockatoo and a South American sun conure. We are going to start hosting couch surfing next year we think. I love traveling, hearing about people's adventures and learning from others. I don't mind shopping and touristy stuff but I prefer getting into the culture of a place and seeing the natural country. I live in Currumbin with my boyfriend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have decided to give couch surfing ago as I seem to always be hosting people anyway. My boyfriend and I have a spare bedroom so we may start hosting next year. I love finding the culture in a place and experiencing the real life of the place I travel to.

Interests

My main interest is cosmetic tattooing I absolutely love my job. I like snorkelling and the ocean. I also love stand up paddle boarding, going to the beach and doing yoga. I love bush walks and long walks but especially love going for walks with a friend. I am artistic and also like gardening. I love all animals.
