CURRENT MISSION

To gain inner peace and clarity. Trying to save for Europe! I want to be learn to dance without feeling self conscious.

ABOUT ME

I try to be a as kind and compassionate as possible but it is a life long project. Mistakes are like gold when you learn from them. I work hard and train hard and generally like to keep active. Some days I feel like the entire multiverse was created purely for my amusement.

No dog living with me at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

This is something I will quite happily keep working out for the rest of my life but for the moment I would say that compassion is important and empathy is the key to compassion. At the same time if you are too forgiving and easy on people you are just putting them at a disadvantage and preventing them from growing through experience. Does that make any sense?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a spare room plus some couches 15 minutes drive from the center of Hobart(buses are a bit shit). I hope to provide a relaxing haven for Couchsurfers to rest their travel weary bodies and share the knowledge I have of the local area. I work a lot so I don't have much time.

At the moment I am actually house siting and as a result I am unable to leave chouchsurfing guests in my house while I'm not there. This means effectively that you may get kicked out each week day at 6.30am and would be unable to get back in until about 5pm.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my hosting experiences have been positive.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

V For Vendetta, Stardust, Fight Club. Every kind of music that isn't empty and wishy washy. Lathe of heaven and the Earthsea Series by Ursula Le Geuin, Samdman and American Gods by Neil Gaimen, Ian Banks, some Clive Barker.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sometimes I say to myself "Shut up you whiney little bitch." and sometimes it does the trick.

Well I was thinking that I could probably teach a bit of self defense but I am no expert.
