I'm a youthful, friendly, 42 year old and have just relocated to Melbourne. Brisbane born, I have travelled to a few corners of Earth for adventure and/or working holidays. Travel is my first love - no other person can compete. ;) Writing is an immediate second.

As a house guest, I'm very considerate of others when it comes to cleaning up after myself and noise at night. I'm equal parts social and introvert - I enjoy engaging with who I'm sharing a living space with, sharing a wine and a chat, talking about our day or life in general, but I enjoy my solo time also.

I moved to this effervescent city to focus on living a more creative life and devote more time to writing. My career to date has been within the legal industry as a property paralegal, however I am considering jumping into the hospitality industry for a complete change of environment and pace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I develop a broader musical ear the older I get, but rock and punk rock gets my feet tapping the quickest. (Rolling Stones, White Stripes, Pixies, Hole, etc)

Movies and books - I gravitate toward anything dramatic - fiction/non-fiction/documentaries.
