About Me

I am an artist travelling and working around Australia about to move to New Zealand.
Wellington is my future new home!

I love a great chat over any beverage, cinema going, park rambling, picnicking, dancing the morning into light and a chill night in.
I have lived in many share houses and stayed on many couches over the years, I am considerate, open-minded, clean and love to cook for others. I have worked in the Arts and Hospitality sectors for all my life so I am a trained mixologist, for your cocktail needs and radical cleaner so everything is spick and span.
I am handy to have around whether you have a broken tap, your computer is playing up ,
a plant is looking a bit sad or you need a shoulder to cry on, I am your woman.

I love learning and sharing.
I am new to the official couch surfing app- But I have shared my home and slept on plenty couches in the past :)
Let's make something together!
