CURRENT MISSION

To share interesting stories with other interesting people from all parts of the world

ABOUT ME

I have a big smile that is usually present at all times...
I love sharing a beer/wine/other with great people and singing along loudly to cover bands when I get drunk...
I tend to go to bed late and rise around 9am if possible...
I am always listenning to music and carry my i-Pod nearly everywhere...
I have learnt over the years the value of forgiveness and prefer to focus on happy times and look forward to experiencing many more in the years to come...
I am a very honest and loyal person who loves my family and friends with all my heart and wouldn't be the happy person I am today without them... :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life knowing that I am lucky to be here surrounded by the great people that make me so happy...
I'll do anything to make those around me laugh and am not afraid to poke fun at myself to do so!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS in 2009 before travelling to New Zealand however I got caught up with other plans and ended up staying with friends and in backpackers!
My girlfriend and I both enjoy helping people out as much as possible in any way we can and so we look forward to giving people a welcoming place to stay and/or advice if requested :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have so far had nothing less than FANTASTIC experiences with the surfers we have hosted and the hosts who have looked after me so well!

教，学，和分享

Apart from a willingness to show people around Alice (if time permits!) I love photography and am always willing to teach/learn new skills with other keen photographers.

I love to cook and if time permits/ingredients are available I am more than happy to cook my signature (and very Australian!) dish. We would definitely be happy to have any guests who like to cook show us a recipe that they like to prepare :)
