CURRENT MISSION

To meet new and interesting people

ABOUT ME

Layed back, gentle, generous, adventurous, unconventional, witty.
As I age I become more comfortable in my skin.
I laugh at myself often and don't take myself too seriously.
Love nothing more than sharing experiences and food, beverage in hand, maybe around a camp fire or kitchen table.

PHILOSOPHY

Dont take myself or the world too seriously.
Tread lightly in the environment -
Share my experience. Pay it forward.
Do unto others..........

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can offer a bed from time to time - Love meeting new people and swapping stories..
My home is 1 minute from a lovely surf beach, 20 minutes from Hobart airport, 30 mins from Hobart and 45 mins from Port Arthur.
My home is more suited to surfers who have their own transport, although we are connected to Hobart by bus.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Having surfed with some wonderful hosts in Ireland mainly, I feel much more aware of the needs of couch surfers.
I look forward to hosting fellow travellers when possible.

An amazing aurora that lasted for some hours filling the sky.
