ABOUT ME

One day I will fill this in properly. It is an odd thing to have to describe yourself :)

PHILOSOPHY

One foot in front of the other, one day at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Mostly hosting but have had a couple of surfing experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had quite a number of surfers at my place over the years, enjoyed them all! Had a wonderful host in Italy who has inspired me to do more here at home. Hoping to connect with other hosts in Victoria and meet more people here and away.

Interests

Okay, probably a given on this site, but travelling of course! Anything you can do in a pub - darts, pool, tipping a few with good company. A well prepared meal, walking, reading, catching live music and admittedly, I have a seemingly insatiable crossword addiction.
