CURRENT MISSION

Yet to be debriefed

ABOUT ME

I am a mammal in the process of trying to enjoy and understand this old thing called life. People, books, travel and my guitar all help me along.

I have been everything from a fruit picker to a business owner, a writer and magazine editor to a charity founder. I grew up on a farm and have yearned for a while to get back to the country (where using the word 'yearn' is much more acceptable). Now I'm back - living in the bush, not far from the beaches of Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay

I've travelled quite a lot, independently and as a travel writer, but plan to do more.

*some of my photos are old, but I leave them on to remind myself that I didn't always have rapidly greying hair!

PHILOSOPHY

It isn't the beard that makes the philosopher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make genuine connections with people, not just to save $ on a night's accommodation. I enjoy spending time with those who are a bit left of centre, kind, compassionate, witty, unconventional. I like to meet people who have a story to share, who have unusual/interesting hobbies, passions, plans, ideas.

Interests

I'm interested in humanity, sustainability, music, travel, books, puns, dad jokes, cycling, hiking, meditating and grapefruit.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yep, lots!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a holy man in Nepal lift a 50kg rock with his c#ck.
True story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how not to dance and how not to cook.
