About Me

I'm easy going, house trained, tall, often entertaining, respectful, multi-purpose, highly portable. The sentences I type about myself can often be too long and get cut off before they are finished.

I still have so much more to see, like all of us on here I would guess.

I always stay young at heart and in mind, open to new ideas, new people, new ways of life. :)

PHILOSOPHY

... there were meadows as far as the eye could see, tall green grass that you could lie down and go to sleep in. There were valleys and fresh air in the skies, flowers all over the Earth, of indescribable shape and colour. I used to think as I lay in those meadows watching clouds spinning across the sky "what would happen if all this incredible beauty was lost for all time?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing!! It's extraordinary! C'est tres magnifique! Es ist so wunderbar! !Es increíble!

It brings people from all countries just that little bit closer together. It helps me teach bad dance moves to the entire world, one surfer at a time! Ha ha :)

I offer a safe, fun and welcoming couch for the weary, adventurous, traveled souls that find their way to the Gold Coast.

I've also surfed with people too around the world. I have been very fortunate to have seen much of this world and to have met so many fascinating people. I am humbled by it. Travelling really is a privilege, many around the world will never experience it.

I have never had a negative experience, CS people have become new friends every time. Does it get much more cool than that really?

Interests

I am interested in the simple things in life.

Music, of course. Who doesn't like it? I like all sorts of it, although, due to a love affair with the sound of wah-wah guitars, I potentially have the worlds largest collection of underground 70's funk music. If you visit, you may be forced to listen to it.

I also make some music. The loungeroom is a bit of a sound studio :)

I love travelling. I have been to some crazy places! I have many stories and I can't wait to hear yours, I can relate to almost everything!!

Languages, I love learning them and learning more about them. I pick them up reasonably quickly.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sights and sounds that enthral.
Smells and tastes that take you some place else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That is hard. Many things, no matter how simple, can be amazing or special in the right time.

Teach, Learn, Share

My head is full of knowledge that I certainly couldn't consider practically useful to me or anyone else.

But I am a language buff - I will try to speak to you in your language! I can teach you cricket, lawn bowls, kayaking and other sports. I can show you how to catch a crab. I know A LOT about the Gold Coast and Australia. I know some crazy dance moves. We can go drumming. I cook strange but awesome things.

I hope you like fish & chips, I know an awesome place for it. It has never disappointed a couchsurfer yet :)
