About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tasmanian lass and her Spanish muchacho, in a love story that began with CS, working out love, life and how to keep pot plants alive in Melbourne until other horizons call.

ABOUT ME

Curiosity may have killed the cat but it hasn't got the better of me yet. I love the different people and places that make up this wonderful planet. I love wilderness, community, and sharing culture, food, stories and cups of tea. I am particularly keen on thunderstorms, picnics, Latin music, indigenous cultures, dark chocolate, fire twirling, and God.

PHILOSOPHY

LOVE is the answer ;-) the more i look, the more I see how the earth hums with it, how it is the invisible substance that holds things together. And how things start falling apart without it. A little bit of love goes a long way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people and share stories, tea and food together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wonderful. I look forward to every next CS encounter.
I even met my husband in an unexpected CS love story!

Interests

People!!! meeting people, sharing stories, learning new things, helping out. I love challenges, stretching my comfort zone, trying new things. I like getting involved in community projects, making a difference. Life is short and unexpected; I want to use what I've been given generously and wholeheartedly.
