I am studying to become a high school teacher, majoring in drama and history. I love music, art, performance, nature, wildlife, good food, and laughing with good people. At home in Highvale, Queensland, Australia, we have five acres, chickens, and fruit trees and veggie gardens.
We have been WWOOFF and HelpX Hosts for 12 years and have hosted many fantastic people from all around the world.
