Host profile image
My husband, Antony and I have lived in the Gold Coast since 2014. Originally from the beautiful country of New Zealand we moved here for the glorious weather!
We love living in Australia and have become citizens here, but we are strong advocates for both here and New Zealand- except when the All Blacks are playing Australia !
We love travelling, the sea, and of course meeting new people!
We have two small white fluffy doggies- Ted and Sonny who also love to meet everyone.
