Brisbane Greeters

I have mentioned before in my blog that I am a volunteer Brisbane Greeter which is part of the Global Greeter network offering 'greets' in almost 100 cities around the world. Greeters are volunteers who are happy to take visitors and locals on a walking tour around the city, not like a professional tour guide, but more like a newly met friend! 
This past week has been a busy week for me as I have completed 4 walks in 7 days. Usually, I might only do one or two greets per month.

My husband Rob (also a Greeter) and I were asked to train other Greeters in walks around South Bank, so I did two training walks. This is the first group of Brisbane Greeters in front of the lovely Nepalese Pagoda.

                                                    

I then had my usual rostered greet with a couple from Malaysia and also a Brazilian man who is currently living in New Zealand. Here are my visitors at our inner city beach South Bank.

                             

Then today Rob and I were asked to show a group of interstate travel agents around, here he is telling them about our Anzac Square.

                            

Usually, I would walk anywhere between 13 to 22 kilometres each greet but today it was about 19 km. It is a good way to keep fit! We were then invited to have a scrumptious lunch with the group after our walk. Then they were off to visit a local winery, where hopefully the afternoon will be at a slower pace for them.

Rob and I are off to New Zealand next week where we have another housesit to do. On the North Island again but in a different place to last years. Sadly, no alpacas this time!
