About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go to bed with a good book or someone who has read one. Our sex days are over .

ABOUT ME

Partnered with Ian.

PHILOSOPHY

My partner Ian is my best mate. We have been together for 50 years Sometimes we still even talk to one another!
Though we have many friends we still love making new ones with people from all nationalities.

We are not too keen on rampant flag wavers or people who still have religious superstitions and beliefs. Its all hokus poke us to us!

Believe in yourself and be kind to others -especially refugees

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted many people in Sydney and have also stayed with fabbo interesting people around the world
Lots of fun.
It makes us wish we had a bigger apartment, although we love the one we own. On the road we have
slept anywhere, on anything and with anyone!

Interests

Coogee Beach is our home. Reading, politics, theatre,, Music, FiIm and Writers' Festivals. We struggle with cryptic crosswords and sudukos. We like chatty and fun loving people and love hugs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We were once gaoled as spies in Tanzania as we hitched across Africa, We've taken the old hippy trail across Asia from Katmandu to London. I've been in a hot air balloon crash. We have canoed down the Zambezi.
We have cycled nude with couch surfers in New Zealand and have had very interesting and rewarding jobs working with youth and community groups

Teach, Learn, Share

Bugger all .

What I Can Share with Hosts

You will have a comfy and safe couch in our lounge room, usually for no more than 3 days. We have a car to show you around Sydney a bit. The beach and coastal walks are just a minute away. Probably we will offer you breakfast and a meal or two. We eat out a lot but rarely go clubbing except during Mardi Gras. We expect hugs and hopefully a beer or wine in return. Nudists and gays are especially welcome.

Note that with our ageing bodies WE are NOT INTO SEX anymore.
