I'm living in Empire Bay about an hour north of Sydney with my family, wife and four adult children, girls and boys. Travelling to Sri Lanka next April/May with Suzi my wife.
Just sold a couple of businesses so doing some part time work and lots of interesting activities in between including 'pitt st' farming, pop up tent trailering, surfing, kayaking and experimenting with all things food and drink.
Used to run a tapas bar with Suzi, I was the cocktail king and she the tapas queen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Keen to host some people and learn more about Sri Lanka (been there a couple of times) and other places. Would love to learn Sinhalese basic and just enjoy the surf.
