I live on a community near Nimbin in NSW Australia. I grew up here and have recently moved back home to set up a community art studio and to settle down and work on living in a more self sufficient manner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in meeting and mingling with the locals. It is an important part of truely understanding and being part of another country.

I want to then return this experience by hosting people who will then be able to explore the community I live on and think about alternative ways of living and loving life.

I love fantasy books and contemporary philosophy...

And I can't think of a favourite movie but I saw the BFG recently which was quite cute......I have been travelling for a while now with no telly...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently was on a group bus tour of the Scottish Highlands and when in Fort Agustus had a quick dip in Loch Ness <3

It was freezing! But absolutely worth it

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to discuss art techniques and strategies for making. I love learning about local stories/customs and I am interested in approaches to sustainable living such as carfting and gardening.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking! I think I'm ok, mostly vegetarian dishes but some meat. I can also share a drink or two and hopefully a good conversation.

I am happy to help out around the house with chores and gardening during my stay.
