About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, chill and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

Do you want the truth?
Do you think you can handle the truth?
Ok you asked for it...
I'm a Ginga!
And accourding to Cartman, I don't have a soul!
Hmmm, what else? Well, I'm also an Ozzie, therefore I'm easy going, relaxed and ride a Kangaroo. Being a Ginga also made it interesting growing up in the 'sun-burnt' country, hence I've escaped to Europe for a year or so (and counting).
You want more?
OK, I love a good time, a few brews and a laugh or two. I know, a few brews and a laugh always equals a good time!
I love travelling and meeting champs from all over the world, which really goes without saying as this is why we're all part of the CS nation!
I also get stuck into the sports when I'm not on the road, specifically football, the real football, also known as soccer in some parts of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I think if everyone treated others how they wanted to be treated then society and the world would be in a bit better shape.
I live my life the way I do because I would rather be an old man with great stories, cracking memories and no money than financially rich and nothing to tell the grand-kids!
Also, live and learn, whats all we can do!
I'm sure I have some more but I need a few brews and my great philosophical sparing partner, Jimmy B, before they really start to flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting with surfing the odd couch here and there, well only surfed one so far, but then I hope to host when I finally settle somewhere, assuming I ever do!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sorry crew, not really any stories so far as I have only surfed one couch but it was in the 'arse-hole of the world'! (not my words, I quite liked the place!)

Interests

- travel: given
- football: brilliant, the world game, enough said.
- snowboarding: everyone should be made to do a snow season once in there life!
- motorsport, in particular, MotoGP: great on TV, unfreaking-believable live, go and see it!
- sport: it's just good...apart from lawn bowls (a mate dragged me along one day, I've never been the same since)
- the meaning of life: can anyone help me with this one?

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels: so many great characters - "If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kinda pussy to drink it"
There's Something About Mary - 7 minute abs

Music
Long live Rock 'n' Roll

Books
I lost them for about 10 years, yep that's right, all of them, but I recently found a few behind the couch. Slash's autobiography was solid, might have something to do with my favourite music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ice climbing in Switzerland wasn't too shabby, either was canyoning in Slovinia. Being part of the build up and watching Australia's first World Cup game in Germany, 2006, was better than my wedding day and I've never been married! Riding powder, back country style, in Chamonix, France, well, really riding powder anywhere!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a doctorate in Aussie Slang, so if anyone wants lessons, let me know!

In keeping with the current Wacko Jacko mania I would like to learn to moon walk! Failing that, I would like to space walk!

I can share a hug! haha, but I can!
