About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Sell or Give away my many collections of 8 years (mostly for Off Grid Living), by March 1 2018.
Moving to Springwood to build full time. Lots of fun to be had, especially online experiments. 0416022004.

Excited by this Technology Revolution. Permaculture. Changes in Civilization.

UPDATE- Looking for a Partner (one) to setup & run a part-time Gardening Business. Free accommodation to work together for a few weeks to get started. Or help with setting up the Social Media

I plan to travel around the world, on the cheap, for 6 months, every year - USA, South America, Europe and Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WARNING TO YOU - re CANBERRA
Without your own car, very difficult to travel from Jervis Bay area to Canberra or Melbourne. It will take several steps hitch-hiking. Melbourne is best for the Young. Canberra is about as exciting as a dead cigarette butt.

Now I am looking to make friends, to meet up later - I love showing off Australia and hope to meet like minded people from around the world.

My main reason is to attract WWOOF'ers to collaborate with setting up an Eco-Lodge with Eco Farming (read Reconciliation Ecology, Perennial Polyculture, Permaculture, Biodiversity and animal welfare).
I prefer to talk to Guests before sharing my address. SMS 0416022004 and I will ring you and pay for the call. Or Skype eftpos4u.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have looked after many young adults from all over and am excited with their future outlooks. Particularly, they seem well versed on Biodiversity and Eco Farming.
Couchsurfing is all about sharing experiences. This is a Shared House, not Grand Pa's Freebe house.

Interests

Bio-char, wildlife, alternate house building technologies, explosion in knowledge, technological changes & our changing Civilization.

Assuming you are coming in 2017, I am on Couch Surfer, based in Huskiness and am happy to show you around Jervis Bay and also the Blue Mountains (I have a few acres there).
Also I am shortly (May) driving up to Byron Bay to explore Alternate Eco-Living - there are a couple of Open Days.

Music, Movies, and Books

Change is the only constant. The internet and everything that is written (recorded), is by definition, wrong. There is no TV, Video or CD player, in the house.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Developed a concept and built a prototype for the Dept. of Social Security, to interpret (apply) Australian (i.e.English style) Legislation & Administrative Interpretations, and then told it was an Expert System. Who knew??

Teach, Learn, Share

This is the MAIN reason for being involved in CS.
Fantastic experience with mainly 20 to 45yo Travellers. Their eagerness to accept change and their Eco lifestyle (as against the Baby Boomers who were driven by Consumerism ), promotes a possessive outlook. I get a high when sharing experiences with these people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

History, Technological changes, Backyard Permaculture & my Kangaroos.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Fiji, France, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Slovakia, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, United States
