Overview
About Me
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I seduce women with my sensuous & satiric Nostradamus impressions, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, & I drive places half an hour away in fifteen minutes. I am an expert in cooking, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Australia.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Northern Territory from a horde of ferocious fire ants. I play psychedlic trance so loud the neighbours complain that their walls are shaking (what does he think it's doing to mine ..), I was scouted by the Endevour, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban rock climbing, kayaking, white water rafting and scuba diving. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair computers, laptops, mobile phones free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured Perth with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Fight Club, The Alchemist, and Catch 22 in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
PHILOSOPHY
The earth is only one of many schools on the journey to ultimate knowledge.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I create social events, talk to strangers, query the unknown for the sole intent of gaining new perspective. I talk about new ideas in the hope the catalyst will be something tangible and give us forward momentum into a future we deserved yesterday. As I am passionate about life I ensure that grinding Monday to Friday 9-5 framework doesn't contour my reality. Working on a sailboat in the Whitsundays certainly helps but planning events and meeting new people make the balance worthwhile. I also perform guided tours of the cities I've been to and host photographic sessions for kicks. I like fun, but I love life !!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted at home, I've been to multiple gatherings, The events I host I post but I am yet to surf myself.
Interests
If people would only take as much time improving upon themselves as they take dissaproving of others the world would be such a better place.

Sky diving; boring, if it's excitement you seek get to your local x zone and go caving, black water rafting, scuba diving until that final moment your air canister tickles ..
