About Me

Over ten years hosting and surfing. Really enjoyed making new friends and the experinces I've shared with them.
Like all good CS-ers, I love to travel and have new experiences, but what makes it is the people you meet.
If you feel the same way, I am sure we’ll get along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe it’s the locals, not a guidebook, that allow you to really experience a place.

Interests

Open minded and easy going, life is too short not to try all the experiences it can offer you.
Wherever I go I always try to visit galleries and see live music. Enjoy chatting with a beer or glass of wine but love to go hiking, riding a bike or road tripping longer distances.

Of course, always taking photos with some dusty old camera that takes film which isn't made any more!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hugely varied taste in music although, I can’t play any instruments - yet!
Love to read and love cinema too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spoke to Johnny Greenwood before he went on stage.
Rafted down the Franklin River in Tasmania.
Hitch Hiked from Germany to England - in one day.

I know that’s three things but whose cares.

Teach, Learn, Share

Having worked as a tour guide in both a distillery and a vineyard I can tell you a lot about wine and whisky.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love to cook and share my experiences.
Obviously, if you invite me into your home, I will treat it with the utmost respect and follow your rules.
