ABOUT ME

Need I say more?

Not to be judged with pre0conception, stereotypes or any sense of predicable behaviour but aim to underpromise, overdeliver and aim to surprise!

We come to this world with nothing, we leave with nothing"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host to those who I can share a good chat, a recipe for home cooking, a political rant, an appreciation for foreign film or music, a conversation about the human condition, the economy, a tea/coffee or a rant about life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eaten Raw Horse in Yakitoriya in Kyoto

Lost in the beach at night with wild dingoes in Fraser Island, QLD

Stuck in a car in middle of night in middle of nowhere between Alice Springs and Ayres Rock on same spooky hwy as backpacker murders 10 years ago and astray camels..

Stayed 8 hrs in a Hungarian Spa in Budapest in one day (and ended up with hands and feet i couldn't feel afterwards)

Got lost in the subways of Europe - Don't you love being just lost in a city.

Soon to be.. somewhere LOST SURPRISED and IMPRESSED somewhere in the middle of Europe!?
