I'm from Melbourne, Australia and have lived there all my life. I am 53 and my partner and I have two daughters living in Melbourne also. I love to cook and have started my own business cooking for locals in the area I live in. I love to kayak and have competed in many marathon races in Victoria over the years. I love my garden and my family and walking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm doing the Camino del Norte in 2019 in Spain.

Interests

I love my family. My mum died this year. Now I am the oldest woman in my family and I have made it my mission to welcome all my family, my nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, brothers to come to my home. I love to feed them and make them feel welcome and like they always have somewhere where they will be loved.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an 80s tragic coz that's my teenage years - I love AC/DC, Queen and loads of other music from the 70s-80s. I love disco. I love Cat Empire, Tex Perkins, Blondie, Crash Test Dummies and soul music - love Sam Cooke, I love George Ezra, and Teskey Brothers. I'm not a great heavy metal fan or jazz but I love Led Zeppelin. Neil Young has grown on me
