自我介绍

I am a Brit but have been living in Australia for 10 years and enjoying all that Melbourne has to offer: great food; arts; wineries; beach; bush; literature etc. I am a writer and combine freelance writing and journalism with work in the not-for-profit sector. I love the arts, the outdoors, animals and languages - I speak reasonably good French, German and Spanish. 5 of the things I can't live without: a great friends, good food, dogs, the arts and the outdoors. And to cheat and add a sixth, I love antique china and other collectables and love to scour flea markets for treasures! Some of my recent favourite movies include Monsieur Lazhar, the King's Speech, Bill Cunningham - a documentary (about the New York Times photographer). My taste in music is pretty eclectic and ranges from world music to classical and folk. I have enjoyed using Airbnb accommodation on my travels - so much more interesting than staying in hotels, and am now opening up my own house to travellers as a host. As a guest I treat Airbnb accommodation as I would my own home, leaving it as I find it with due respect and consideration for my host or hosts. I am excited about the people I will meet, the conversations we will have and the stories we will share. My aim is to give you a comfortable and relaxed base on your travels where you can enjoy some home comforts - even cuddles with my dog, Bertie. And I can help your plan your stay in Melbourne to get the most out of it. My life motto is a quote from Oscar Wilde: Be yourself, everyone else is already taken..
