Hello! I love a spontaneous conversation as much as I love to retreat and have quiet time in nature. I’ve been in business for many years so I know how essential it is to have time out. I believe it is important it is to be surrounded by beautiful things and keep this in mind whilst creating a space for relaxation, meditation or contemplation. I have a Scandinavian background and have travelled since I was very young, I am a free spirit yet I love having my feet on the ground and need nature around me. Hence the reason I live in The Dandenong Ranges surrounded by the forest and tree ferns where we have our beautiful cottage, it is just the perfect place to retreat, relax and recharge. Living in Australia is incredible as there is so much here to see and do, I love adventure and to experience new places, especially riding my motorcycle and get away as often as possible staying in places you wouldn’t usually find. I look forward to either hosting a stay for you at Wild Orchid Olinda or discovering your place soon.
