ABOUT ME

Hey,

We're an easy going couple that gets along with just about anyone. We love to get out and try new things and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do unto others..." is always a good start.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been very lucky to have met many interesting people on my travels who have been great hosts. I also love showing friends around Sydney, which I believe is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Interests

I have a lot of varied intersts.

I like all kinds of outdoor activities including camping and all kinds of water sports, but I also like books, movies, music (seeing live music and making my own) and art, etc.

I like eating out and trying new foods. I like to cook and I'm keen to learn some new recipes if you're keen to teach :)

I enjoy socialising, nightlife and dancing.

I'm up for just about anything really :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Probably easiest to refer you to my facebook page where I made a list some time ago:

I always say, "There's good music in evey genre." I like a lot of varied music, but I tend to like music with energy. I grew up listening to punk, a I played in a few bands. Next was hiphop, which I find similar to punk believe it or not! From there my taste has diversified and I find myself liking a broader variety of music all the time.

For movies I tend to like either comedy or something with a deeper meaning. I'm not so into Hollywood blockbuster action movies or "chick flicks", although they can be good if they are done right. I also like "so-bad-it's-good" movies like schlock horror and The Room.

My favourite books are often dystopian and/or sci-fi like 1984, Brave New World, Cat's Cradle, etc, but I also appreciate poetic writings like Onjante's Skin of a Lion. Catch-22 is another favourite. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First of all I've been very lucky to have many interesting and unusual experiences as a doctor, and I'm always amazed at how open and honest people are in the consulting room.

I've also been fortunate to enjoy a lot of unforgetable travel experiences, but the most breathtaking has to be when I was chased by a 300kg mountain gorilla in Rwanda!

Teach, Learn, Share

Part of my travel plan is to practice my Spanish and I'm more than happy to teach English in exchange.
