The family emigrated to Australia in 1967 from England. I travelled and lived in different cities around Australia, then after my divorce in 1980, I moved up to Darwin. I lived and worked up there for about 3 years and one day decided to go travelling for a year. 22 years later I returned to look after my mother, who passed away 11 years ago and I have been here in Adelaide ever since.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have just recently heard about couch surfing and I thought I would offer my spare room to other travellers. I would also like to take a holiday at some stage and perhaps try out the couch surfing, if anyone would have me at my age.

Interests

• play tennis
• socialise with several meetup groups

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly the 60's and 70's music. Some of the modern singers like Ed Sheran; Adele and Taylor Swift.
Don't like any sort of violent movie. Loved the Dressmaker. My favourite was the English Patient. The older movies such as Casablanca; Gone with the Wind etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently sang solo in a Fringe show as well as had my part of the acting. I always had a fear of standing in front of a crowd of people with all eyes on me. So I decided to conquer my fear and it was exhilarating.
