Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Walking pilgrim journey (via Francigena) Besancon, France to Rome. Would hope to use Couchsurfing along the way, especially if close to VF roadway or track. Would hope to be able to offer this same hospitality to others when I return to my home in Australia.

Music, Movies, and Books

Like old-time and classical music (especially Gregorian and Palestrina). Do not watch movies (television or theatre). Read anything which will improve my knowledge of the truths of life and existence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

More correctly described as "an amazing thing done to/for me"! I received the gift of Sobriety in January 1980, after 14 years of alcoholic drinking.
