About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in Sydney close to Bondi Beach. Enjoy the weekends, meet some new people & make and share a cosy home.

ABOUT ME

Hi my name is Peter. I spent the last 7/8 years traveling and studying. After finaly finishing university I worked as a social worker in Briabane, with the homeless. After saving enough money from work I hit the road once more and lived in Thailand for six months, Malta for four months and Spain for over a year.

Now I am home. I spent some time in Tamworth, NSW. A country town where I was born. I had not seen my family for quite a while so I spent ten months reconnecting with my Mother, Father, Brother & new little neice which I am the proud god father of.

My time in Tamworth finished and I had the opportunity to move to Sydney, so I jumped at the chance. I live in Rose Bay a suburb that neighbours Bondi which is a little quiter and still within the distance for a run to the Bondi Beach of a morning.

I love the family life, sharing meals having close friendly, fun relationships. I like trustworthy people who are trying to be good people.

So I want to make a comfy easy going house and share it with friends, family and strangers.

I love going out exploring, showing people Bondi, the City, the Museum, interesting sights, good cafes and the pub for a beer.
+ Hanging around the house listening to music, reading, watching movies and sometimes trying to meditate with my flatmate.

Theres a good chance I would love to have you over. When I think about it I throughly enjoy the company of nearly every one I have hosted and met on my travels. I sometimes think where do all the bad guys hang out because I have not met any! So if I can not have you over im sorry, Im sure we would get on like a house on fire!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my first trip I travelled around the world with my brother. We went to the travel agent and said can I get a round the world tix, she said "yep, where to" my brother mike said "I like Mexico the favelas seemed hectic in school." I said "that looks good," and pointed to pyramids on the wall and we asked her to fill in the rest.

We were young and it was extremely fun.
