About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in the tropical north, enjoying the space and the heat, watching our baby grow and change every day.

ABOUT ME

Likes bushwalking, reading, listening to music, bike-riding, talking and sitting in silence together, eating, drinking, afternoon sleeps ...

PHILOSOPHY

Sceptic, in the sense of not accepting blindly. I find it too hard to say anything definite about existence, so I can't really say I have any firm philosophical opinions ... except that it's difficult to have firm philosophical opinions!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly by hosting. I have been quiet on couchsurfing over the last few years as we've been hosting lots of bicyclists through warmshowers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet travellers and bring a little bit of their world into our home. And when travelling, it's a fantastic way to meet local people and see places with their eyes. It makes travelling so, so much more rewarding!

Interests

Reading, cooking, walking, canoeing, listening to music, talking about grammar!

Music, Movies, and Books

A wide variety of music, especially traditional/folk music, quieter vocal-based music, but also dance music like salsa, afro-pop ... most things except opera and heavy metal I'll give a go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tree-planting in northern Canada; five months bike-riding and camping up the east coast of Australia.
Being a new parent is the amazing thing I'm doing now.
