ABOUT ME
I have had the travel bug since I was a young lad. I have read veraciously about the world and its cultures over the years while planning my future travels. But due to one thing or another I never quite managed to get away, until a couple of years ago. I now live in Perth, Australia (the most remote city in the world)
I work in the dessert, which I enjoy very much.(working 22 weeks a year is great also)
The other bonus is that this part of the world is a lot closer to a fair portion of the globe compared to NZ.So its a excellent place to base myself for my future,long over due adventures.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in having an open mind to everything. Enjoying life to the fullest, with no hidden agendas. And helping those around me who need a hand!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Flyin the flag !
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
During My time as a tour guide in The Bay of Islands( NZ )
I hosted many people that i met on my bus,
Made some wonderful friends in the process.
I was then told about Couchsurfing just before my first trip overseas. What great timing!
It was incredible staying with some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Being able to experience their part of the world through their eyes . This is in my mind the only way to see the world .
Interests
Im interested in everything !! travel is at the top of the list of course .
I have just bought a guitar so being traveling minstrel is on the cards.
I like to keep fit, mainly jogging, try to eat right ( emphasis on "try")
I guess I love new experiences, people and places. "Stuff" that broadens my understanding of everything and makes me a better person !
- traveling
- guitar
- tourism
Music, Movies, and Books
Im into all music! I have very eclectic tastes.from Abba to Zappa from Acid Jazz to Tribal.
I read mainly non fiction, Lots of travel books and im a huge fan of the cook book genre as well'
Any chance for a bit of escapism will see me dotted down in front of the big screen. I really enjoy the art house/inde movies alot.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I experienced a homeless person offer me half his money. ( I had returned to him after finding it ) It truly amased me ! those with so little, still willing to part with it. It was one of life's great lessons. Got to love Karma !!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm am a bit of a patriotic Kiwi! So if you should wish to know anything about a little bit of Paradise at the arse end of the world (the true down under !) then ask away .If you would like to learn the very basics of drilling little holes in the earth ? then I can help you there also!
