ABOUT ME

I'm currently travelling round Australia and New Zealand for a year on working holiday visas.

PHILOSOPHY

Love these quotes:

What's for you won't go by you.

If you only live half your life, the other half will haunt you forever.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quiestest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.” – Pat Conroy

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain

“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J. R. R. Tolkien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have one experience of couchsurfing, in Hastings NZ. Good fun!
Also have stayed in people's houses through a help exchange program www.helpx.net. volunteering on farms etc for free accommodation and food. Did this in 2007 - this is how i met Antonello (a host) and Vassi (a fellow helper) - see friends list. And again in 2010-2011 in France, Spain and Portugal.

I've never been in a position to host. I hope to be able to from 2013.
