I travelled a lot when I was in my 20's. I rode a bicycle thru SE Asia, India and Europe. I stayed in a squat in Amsterdam, riding my bike down thru Belgium, France and across to England, finally ending up in Scotland for nearly 20 years. I met my husband there on a windsurfing week.
We moved back to Australia in 2000 with our 2 children. One now learns Spanish and the other Italian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My son is currently travelling thru Europe with his girlfriend and he wants to use couch surfing, so I thought I would give back by helping other travellers.

Interests

I am interested in Buddhism and meditation. I love exercising and being a family. I love eating hot chips on the beach after going for a walk at sunset.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy Rufus, Coldplay, Alt J and K D Lang. I've seen her perform live several times and she is amazing.
I love watching feel good movies like Pitch perfect and St Trinians.
I love nothing better than curling up in an armchair with a good book. I love teenage fantasy stories, anything by Raymond E. Feist and Tamora Pierce.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is camp on the beach in northern Scotland on midsummer's day. I watched as the sun just dipped below the horizon to rise again.

Teach, Learn, Share
