Hi. My name is Sue. I am a solo future nomad, although part time. I hope to do a shorter more local trip in spring to test the waters and would love to meet some of you. I am from Adelaide. A little daunting for me but I NEED to do this. So I hope to hear some of you will be traveling nearby AFTER winter.
