I just completed 2 years and 23 countries of travel after Covid. Exhausted, I have recently settled in Robina on the Gold Coast. I have visited, holidayed, or lived in 92 countries so far...feel free to message me and catch up with fellow hosts and couchsurfers! Always room for a passenger in my car. Have shared some epic trips with a few couchsurfers in northern Europe. Message me to find out where I'm going next. Spent a lot of time in America, Canada, all of Europe, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines, too.

I've had an interesting and varied career in the military, public service, and free enterprise. I love hosting interesting and polite people of all ages from across the world.

I look forward to meeting new, interesting, and well-mannered couch surfers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before the term Couchsurfing was invented, I stayed on people's couches, in their barns, outbuildings, motor homes, boats, yachts and tents all over the World. I was privileged to have these lovely people come and visit me in Australia from time to time and allow me to return their hospitality. To have a website like this where all the organisation is taken care of is just wonderful.

Interests

Nice cars and big motorcycles. Surfing. Biking. Hiking. Meeting new and interesting people and showing them my corner of the planet. Good food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, movies and books change all the time, as do my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flown at twice the speed of sound.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Australia as well as travelling especially in the USA as I go there often. I want to learn about and from my couch surfers, their lives, families, country, experiences, passions and expertise in any area and why they are travelling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a great couch surfer myself - quiet, respectful, clean. I can cook quite well, am adept at washing up and tidying without being asked. I look forward to great conversation across a wide range of topics!
