I have been to the Sunshine coast more than once, albeit some years ago now, the 1st time with my brother, then the next 2 times it was with my Mum. I absolutely love it there on all levels. Have also been to the Gold Coast and love that too

Just a very nice suburban area of course different locations in the sunny coast can change like I wouldn’t be wondering alone in Maroochydore at night or a few places. But you always need to be careful in the suburbs. But overall as a local it’s pretty much a safe space for most women. Just depends on what you’re doing.

About me

I’m Australian currently travelling Central America and the states, however am moving to Canada with a 2 year working visa. I would like to start in whistler as I’ve been told that that’s the busiest place and then hopefully move around to Banff and check out other places too. I’m hoping to find someone who can show me around and potentially host me until I can find a place for myself and a job. I’ve been applying for many hospitality jobs as that’s where I have a lot of experience and passion so any contacts in that field in the area would also be appreciated.
