I'm currently living in Melbourne with my gorgeous long term partner an architect from Germany. I've travelled many places in the world mostly as a performer. I teach circus arts - handstands, hooping, acrobalance, trapeze & flexibility to adults and children and work as a Naturopath with a love of herbal medicine. I love nature, performing arts, natural medicine, good food, growing food, learning, travel, dancing, hiking and lots more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea that we can help each other out as we travel, affirming the world is a friendly place. We've hosted our first official couch surfer and it was great.. Now we host a friend until I go travelling to Norway, Denmark and Germany where I will try couch surfing at other people's homes for the first time. We'll be back in September and can host again. I have an office with a sofa bed to offer in Melbourne Australia & love to let people know where to find good coffee & food in great cafes in Melbourne, where to find organic food, where to go for day trips or camping, where to see a good movie, hear good music or watch some performance art.

I love tea and simple healthy food and happy to make to share - I'm not the best chef but I enjoy preparing food with other people.
