About Me

CURRENT MISSION

on a quest to find that allusive nirvana.. actually I found it- it's the quest! Ohhhh, too easy!!!

ABOUT ME

Cambodiiiiiii
www.thelocal-cambodia.com
I have two bars/restaurants in Phnom Penh. The Local near Russian Market and The Local 2 Riverside. Both bars have happy hours with cocktails from 2 bucks, Western and Khmer food, pool tables, lounge areas, live acoustic music.
I have recently built guesthouse rooms at both locations.
My clientele is a good mix of expats, locals and tourists. All my expat buddies are really friendly and outgoing and we're always happy to meet new faces and welcome you to our family for a few hours, a few days or however long- so drop by and enjoy a bevvie with us.

----
Me, I'm addicted to traveling. Have been traveling the globe for 8 years and can't be stopped... actually I've been traveling my entire life, Australia for the first 25 years.

and it's bloody awesome!

PHILOSOPHY

Love a bit of Neitzschse, Icke, Tsarion, Descartes, Plato and Socrates to get me going.

We are all infinite consciousness... a wise man once said!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I make it a point of removing Gideons from hotel/motel rooms from one end of the planet to the next... It's the simple things! Not that I'm an athiest, I'm simply immature and get a kick out of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I like to kick back in a hammock with a 50c Anchor draft, 30c pad thai noods from a street vendor, $3 sneakers at the local P'sarrr and wonder what the poor people are doing...

Interests

traveling, people, music, drinking, traveling, writing, eating anything from spiders in Cambodia to sheep brain kebap in Turkey, films, traveling, politics, sports, traveling, debating stuff with people about stuff that at the end of the day none of us really give a shit about but it's fun to debate stuff anyway...
