ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old, and i just want have fun and make friends before i get old and lawn bowls takes over my life::::::::: and um sorry i dont really know sanscrit but does anyone?

PHILOSOPHY

Basic ethics and common curtesy prevail, it's not hard to do..........

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by participating....I haven`t hosted yet as i only joined a week before i left the land of oz not so long ago, but i am endeavouring to participate as much as i can, not just for couches but also just to meet people, CS is a really great and progressive concept......

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

minimal thus far but fucking amazing how nice people are, yep people are nicer than society had me think::::: but CS is different, like a cute nucleus encased in an ugly world, but we can ignore the shell yeh?

Interests

Music, drawing, painting, street art, food (cooking AND consumption) people, parties, books, film, getting lost on my own street, outdoors, travel, bright yellow gumboots, misadventure, passing out on ping pong tables (sorry niki), losing my wallet, cous cous, penguins, mismatched socks, cannot sleep in any room that has a ticking clock in it, i just can¨t, it^s like being in hell::::::: oh oh oh plus i like it when it snows::::: but it never does in hell, because of the clocks of course:

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite book? Anything by Haruki Murakami..... or this cool english book `Danny boy`about a kind-hearted junkie. I forget the author. Film? Broken Wings, Le Haine, Jesus' Son. Music? everything from dead prez to primus to edith piaf, but not big on top 40 type stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Unsure, it may not have happened yet::::: actuually, i left australia, that was smart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to whistle using an acorn lid which will come in handy for those CS people lost in an oak forest.
