CURRENT MISSION

I'm off to Melbourne in January... Apparentlt it's pretty sunny there?

ABOUT ME

I like long walks on the beach... (Just kiddin') -and pretty much most other things too! - I look on the bright side of things, 'cause I can... Whenever I realised I didn't want to be a lawyer, I spent a year in Vancouver and worked with kids, cause they're smarter than most adults! -Now I'm a Primary school teacher and I love it! I love music and fun in general... And I think that this Couch surfing idea kinda laughs at the notion that the world's getting scarier and worse. It's not - Bring on the fun!

PHILOSOPHY

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

"Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?!"
-I saved a wee kid from drowning, while on my surfboard once. -Long before that, my Mum saved my own ass from drowning too. Her final words before I went playing on the rocks were (of course) "If you fall in, I'm not going in after you!"

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can play and teach guitar (by ear, not with fancy squiggles!)
I am very positive about not gettin' pissed off about stuff... Everyone tells me that.
I am a teacher, so I'm sure I can be either pedantic or helpful, but I also know that you're never done learning - so I'd love to pick up a flavour of other people's attitudes and lives!
