Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a JJJ addict, but that won't mean anything if you're not an Aussie! I love the Kooks, Portishead, the Chemical Brothers, Angus and Julia Stone, and countless more.

Haven't watched a good movie in a while, but I'm into a few TV shows... Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and Girls.

I'm a librarian so I'm a ferocious reader! Love the classics and also the new page turners as well as teen novels. I'll read just about anything if it comes with a good recommendation. All time fave novels are Shantaram, Atonement, The Bride Stripped Bare, April Fool's Day, and Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Slovenia was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I thought I was afraid of heights but not anymore! The view was spectacular and it's so peaceful watching the world from over 12,000 feet. You gotta try it!

Teach, Learn, Share

As I've lived in South-east Queensland for about 15 years now, I have lots of local knowledge about things to do, top spots to visit, markets, etc. I'm working on a South East QLD links board on Pinterest. It's by no means comprehensive...yet!
