I've recently moved to Australia, living in Perth. I'm currently living in short lets sublets, so am not able to host unfortunately. But once I'm settled, I hope to have the opportunity to host again, as it was always a truely enjoyable experience previously.

Career: I am a nurse, working agency/caual shifts when I'm not travelling.

Food: Huge foodie, eating, and cooking. I love to try local food when travelling, but I've been vegetarian for more than half my life so this can be a challenge.

Free time: Mostly hiking, walking, and admiring the beauty that is our natural world. I also try to make time for yoga, my main form of exercise these days and aerial classes wherever possible. Salsa dancing has taken a back seat in recently years, but I'd never say no to a dance!!

I've had a few experiences on CS and met some amazing people from different cultures and backgrounds. Love being able to connect and challenge my own world views.

Alternatively, if short on time, can't beat a friendly conversation or debate over a good coffee or walk.

On a less friendly note;
- Do not send me a friend request unless we have actually hung out, I will not accept.
- CS is not a dating site. If that's what you are looking for then please do not offer to host me or meet up, otherwise you will be disappointed.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a bit of a mixture of music, between rock, classical, acoustic, theatre, latin.

Films - I don't do anything remotely scary.

I mainly read true stories, particular favourites are books by Torey Hayden.
