I grew up in a small country town and although I have enjoyed city life I tend to end up living small towns. I had twin boys that I raised alone since they were seven.
I trained in Horticulture in Sydney and have worked off and on in that industry since then.
I have recently been working as a Honey Bee Queen Rearer.
I like to sing and harmonise, play guitar and have learned 3 1/2 songs on the ukulele. 😆
I have a large dog and a small cat, both lovely.

Please do not be offended. I do not accept friend requests if I don’t know you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have wanted to see the world since before I had my children. At last I had the time to do so. After 14 months wandering I am back home and so continue my look at the world by hosting travellers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Musical tastes - folk, blues, traditional, classical, jazz, curious about new music
Love movies, I volunteer at the local community owned cinema.
Not read much lately. Last stand out read was The Shipping News, oh and recently re-read The Little Prince. An all time favourite.

I teach guitar, I can share my gardening skills and I know a little about training dogs. Recently taken up the piano again after 40 year hiatus!
I have an old fashioned ladies push bike available and can tell you some of the good places to see.
