About Me

CURRENT MISSION

So much I'd love to do, so little time... and maybe even less money. Won't stop me trying though!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, friendly and always willing to try new things. I like a challenge. I have a big sense of humour and get on well with people.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is somewhat erratic.
There is a yawning discrepancy between what I think I should do and what I end up doing, but thats not always a bad thing. Once I get my head round an idea I can run with it indefinately. I probably think too much.
I dont let anything get me down and try to enjoy everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled overseas a little but would love to more - and try some new things along the way. I love getting the recommendations from locals who know and love their home city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time Surfer (includes actual surfing - bit disappointing considering the beach is so close - I am quite familiar with sleeping on couches though).

Interests

I get joy from many things, big and small!
I love my sport, particularly football. I can play football, tennis and cricket but love watching all sports.
I love my music, practically anything! I can't play any instruments though. Generally my forays into music and art have been promising but unfulfilled - something to work on some day.
I love going out, I love my beer as well as wine. Quite proud of Australia's output of both. My dancing leaves a bit to be desired though.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music! Try me, I'll try almost anything. Jazz, Folk, electronic, indie, pop, alternative and rock are all on the cards. I keep it listed at

I watch a lot of TV - witty comedies are my favourites.
I don't watch that many movies - I have no idea why not!
I also don't read many books, which is just as strange, because I love reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The very first time I flew in a plane I jumped out - I was skydiving.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you everything I know - if you want to hear it. I know a fair bit about Australia and I'd happily exchange that knowledge for more insights into other cultures.

Countries I’ve Visited
