About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to appear cooler than I really am

ABOUT ME

Born a pom, raised a kiwi, taught by the Deutsch and now educating the next generation in J-land. End of Story.

PHILOSOPHY

Wouldn't it be nice if hospitals and schools got all the funding they needed, and the military had to hold bake sales to buy their weapons?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always willing to host, be hosted, and of course grow and learn from fellow nomads.I am also happy to give advice and tips to people traveling in my area or traveling to places I have had the opportunity to visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I love the Arts. I love theatre, cinema, dance, photography, art, music...the list goes on. I do not have any talents in this area...in fact I am pathetically bad in regards to the strands that make up the Arts (Once told by my art teacher that my Monet Haystack resembled a giant elephant pooh) perhaps this is why I have such a great respect for those that have a particular talent in one of the strands...and bloody envious of those that are talented in more than one.
Most of my time and money is spent exploring the world and I love meeting people who are able to entertain me with their exotic, tantalising,exaggerated tales of their adventures on the seven seas.
Whilst in Japan I am trying to learn as much about the culture as possible. This includes taking tea ceremony classes and being part of a performing Taiko group. Loving every minute of it.
