Living life

ABOUT ME

Hard to encapsulate - perhaps see the list of interests. I have in my lifetime seen flat plains of central australia, had dehydration whilst treating villager's teeth in south america, been high off salsa in Rotorua, and spent 10 years at a job. Go figure.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that all people should agree to believe in humanist principles - I think people are converging on ideas like being violent to each other is not a good thing, generally being intolerant isn't great, what people do in their own bedrooms should generally be their own business and not made illegal, and generally being good to one another. I like to think that people regardless of their particular religion should agree with humanist ideals. Design should be able to save the world

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a casual salsa dancer, I can share my skills in dancing with anyone who is interested. Also keen to have a jam with anyone who wants to play some music. A fairly avid geek also so can probably speak for hours about random geeky subjects. Also would like to share origami notes with other folders.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a few couches over in Amsterdam and met a couple of fantastic, open, friendly people - had a great time with them taking me to their local cafe and showing me the crazy murals on the walls there! Have hosted several times in sydney
