Submitted Profile: I was born in Adelaide, South Australia, with a penchant for experiencing life in its depth.
As a teenager I created an opportunity to satiate this penchant and began a journey throughout Australia. The result – a 20 year travelling, working, growing, studying, living experience in Tasmania, Melbourne, Western Australia, New South Wales, Northern Territory and Queensland.
This journey provided a smorgasbord of luxuries and I developed myself and my character through a background of drama, dancing, theatre, a cappella, light opera, writing, publishing, philosophy, people, study and the community.
My journey came to a halt 9 years ago when I caught site of the Tweed/Gold Coast. I have my home and my niché here in the lower Gold Coast region. I still indulge in the luxuries or my well-crafted smorgasbord of delicacies – writing, people, community – life with a purpose!
