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

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.
