Get to know Joan
Having filled most of her salad days with solo adventures, Joan now actively pursues a quiet, peaceful weekend at home listening to vinyl records or playing board games. She also loves to head down south to Margaret River region on long weekends in the company of her husband and their 2 furbabies for gastronomic experience. Occasionally, she enjoys going off-the-grid camping with her husband – leaving nothing but footprints, taking nothing but pictures.
