About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't worry, be happy :-) Attention, here and now!

ABOUT ME

I am quite quiet on first meeting, but once I get to know you (which doesn't take long!) I love to get into deep discussions about all sorts. I am quite spiritual but in more of a quantum physics/taoist way ... not a church on sunday way. I have written a book that I am trying to get published and am looking for another story. I love nature - anything outdoors. I am happiest riding, sailing, hiking, scuba diving, smelling the roses. I also love to dance salsa, jive ...

PHILOSOPHY

All is one, I am you, you are me ... you know... all that stuff. Also, seize the moment and enjoy every second. Immerse yourself in the present because that's all you have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only surfed a few couched, and not for many years. I haven't had a chance to host as been in the middle of the African bush for a couple of years and now travelling again. When I settle and have space I look forward to hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a couch in Noosa. Brad, the host, then said I could house sit as he is often away! So when he was away I hosted 3 people on his behalf... but I wasn't technically the host so I didn't write a reference for them. They were all really cool though and each brought interesting perspectives, stories and knowledge with them.

Interests

Surf, conservation, primitive cultures, Taoism, reading, writing, travel, the sea, being immersed in nature, riding, sailing, dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many! I love reading anything that stretches the imagination. Music - classical, jazz, alternative, 40's,50's,60's. Films - anything funny, or educational.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have seen: always nature unaffected by man.

I've been lucky enough to do loads of amazing things!

Being charged by elephants, working in the oz outback, training a Melbourne cup horse, hunting wild boar in NZ, 3 marlin and 1 sail fish in 1 trip, flying a Cessna in California almost touching the sea, swimming with turtles

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we all have something to teach, learn and share.
