Melbourne, Australia

HI I'm Jo - the Centre Director for Melbourne. I've spent my life traveling the world, exploring and experiencing new cultures. I love to try new food and travel off the beaten track. My favourite place? Luang Prabang in Laos for its sunsets on the Mekong, spectactular food, and laid back vibes.
