Hullo! I’m Carol, and I’m Canadian / Chinese. I've lived in Canada, China, USA (California), New Zealand, and now Australia. I work as a freelance video editor & animator and moved to Brisbane in 2019 ... partially to escape Trump but mostly to enjoy the remote outdoors and live somewhere new. I love to ski, rock-climb, and paraglide. I'm always keen for an outdoor adventure, and I love having a big cook up with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I can afford to travel longer, make new friends, and convince them to visit Canada :)
