About Me

Been a long time since I've done any travelling outside of OZ, and just felt like I need to connect with people who are not it the suburban rut of life..... you know what I mean?

Anyway I am keen to meet some new people in Alice Springs.
If I have the time I am happy to show people around some of the local sites.
I love cooking, gardening, art, camping, dancing, good conversations sitting around the Fire, bush walking and a good laugh... usually at myself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said it feels like forever since I have been travelling overseas as I have been focusing on things here in Alice Springs, so its good to have the world come to me!

I joined up Couch surfers as I miss meeting travellers and the spirit of adventure and openess they bring and it will probably be a while until I will be travelling outside Australia. (but travelling in Australia is pretty awesome, dont get me wrong!)

I hope to host some people soon once I am back from walking in the central Desert (outback Australia) in July/August.
