About Me

CURRENT MISSION

spread the joy

ABOUT ME

Me... Well, I am in this phase where I am over eager to learn. "I am like a sponge", as they say.... I would rather sit down for coffee/tea, out on a terrace, and have a great conversation, or sit in a peaceful silence, rather than drinking beers in some basement.... but sometimes I just end up at a pub with a beer in my hand, having a good laugh with some mates... and maybe a little groove to some funky tunes!
I love working with plants, in the garden, under the sun with a cool breeze blowing!mmmm...

I am currently living and working in the Magical Kimberley... I work remote sometimes, with indegenous communities, so I am not always in broome. I am a horticulturalist and work with aboriginal people, exchanging information on Local bushfoods and medicines and culture.

I live an alternative lifestyle, healthy food, no tv, lots of outdoors, magical practices and I'm gay.. Not just happy

PHILOSOPHY

Just breath, and take in beauty

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is like hitchhiking for me! You never really know what kind of situation, or crazy experiences you are going to have! I love the mystery and the adventure!

Interests

Blue ocean, White Sand and red Pindan Soil. I grow foods and medicines. I love the Bush, live the bush and breath the bush! Gravilea, boab, Bush Banana, Magabala.. tracking the Goanna, listening to the river.. or the waves!
Music is my life. It moves me in ways that nothing else does. I also love eating.... I know thats blunt, but its true, there is nothing better than picking your veg from the garden, spending a few hours with some good mates in the kitchen cooking a feast for all to enjoy!

Music, Movies, and Books

The Grateful Dead was my first introduction to "real" music. And Now I love everything from Jazz, to the blues, metal, to old fation rock and roll and all the world music I can get my ears to listen to.
Carlos Castenada and Herman Hesse are my favorite Classic authors, but Im reading alot of non fiction life stories at the moment that take place in different parts of the world

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked from Northern Canada to Guatemala... We went through all four seasons in weeks... it was pretty amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

A natural way of life is a healthy way. I have been learning more and more about sustainable living. I have traveled to different places working, volunteering and wwoofing on self sufficient farms. I love to talk about this way of life, it is like sharing an old tradition that many people have forgotten all about.
