About Me

ABOUT ME

Physical: Tall, skinny, sometimes vain but then turns up at the picnic in pyjamas ('You go and get dressed, I'll finish this' 'Ah, but I AM dressed! Ah ha!').

Emotional: Aims for the positive ones, occasionally trips over the other ones

Psychological: Cruel, Manipulative... WAIT! NO! I wasn't meant to say that!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really like showing people the local spots (and being reminded how great the tourist spots are!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met quite a few great CouchSurfers who have stayed with my friends in Sydney, I always help out with showing them around (Hi J and Beni and Nik!). Also I've been to a couple of CouchSurfing community events in Sydney, Free Hugs in particular was GREAT (Hi Aurelien!).

Interests

Various things: cooking, dancing, circus skills, volunteering, working, reading, movies, talking about interesting ideas, swimming, laying in the sun, meditating... etc.

The world would be a better place with more jam sessions so although I don't technically play an instrument I am always ready with the spoons!

I also really enjoy learning about religions and speaking to the people who practice them, particularly ones that are quite foreign to my culture such as Buddhism, Quakers, Baha'i...

Music, Movies, and Books

I am currently reading Conversations with God. I'm enjoying it, but I'm reading it in French so it's kind of slow going for me. I loved Everything is Illuminated, My Family and other Animals, The Life of Pi...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Twice now I've seen a rainbow completely encircling the sun! Amazing!
