About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do what I can to make sure that my life and the lives of those around me are as good as they can be.

ABOUT ME

I Grew up in a small area just south of Wollognong called Mount Warrigal (warrigal means "native dog" or just "dog"). I spent my entire youth playing every and any kind sport that came my way (which would explain the current state of my knees).

I love hanging out with people who are themselves - what ever is you - be it. I like to see people laugh, smile and enjoy their limited time on this amazing planet. I love to see my world through the eyes of others.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life's short- Play hard"
"Do unto others as you would have done unto you"
"A bird in the hand gathers no moss"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only hosted and organised or attended CS events. I have never actually been hosted but have turned up to 1 or 2 events in other countires.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of the many people I have hosted have been great I have only had 2 people who have really "taken advantage" of the situation but considering the amouint of people I have hosted that's a very small percentage.

Interests

Obviously Travel. Sport (rugby league, basketball, table tennis plus many others), Wildlife (animals that is), photography, being free of diseases, learning "stuff" about "stuff"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me when you met me -- There's been a few

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an unhealthy knowledge of sydeny and its history and am more then willing to share this knowledge. I love history and like to learn things about far off places. I am also very impressed by any one that can speak another language. my goal before i die is to learn the word "sweet" in every language possible. - my favourite is "slutkey" (russian) and "illnany" Zulu
