About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Switching bases from Sydney to Buenos Aires with my wife Annalisa, going overland through the 15 or so countries inbetween - that's hopping to LA, and then all the way down

ABOUT ME

hmm, my main hobby, love, past-time for as long as i can remember has been travelling. I'm generally fairly chilled and happy kicking back with some mates and a few drinks, although I'll often head off at weekends to try and find somewhere new to explore

PHILOSOPHY

give everyone, everything and everywhere a chance

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well, at the moment mainly by trying to find my feet, but generally by spreading the word

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far just surfed once. Loved it. More to come

Interests

the journalist within me has an annoyingly insatiable craving for information, so there's not a lot I'm not interested in on some level. That said, my real loves are film, music, football (the mighty AFC Wimbledon), reading and writing... and socialising. Enjoying life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hunter S Thompson has long been a hero, so anything by him (although hells angels was a bit heavy-going). Musicwise, I'm happy with any end of the spectrum as long as it goes with the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with whale sharks off the coast of western oz.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've travelled pretty extensively through Oz thanks to my job and have heaps and heaps of travel books, so I'm happy to help out anyone looking for advice for travelling on from Sydney or who maybe wants to borrow a book.
