CURRENT MISSION

share what I have, be teachable and learn from others

ABOUT ME

I'm creative, artistic, tactile and pretty good with my hands, which translates to laid back and relaxed. I love to cook and enjoy sharing a good story or two over a red wine or a cold beer. When you visit my home you can pull up a chair and sip on a beer or wine and talk endless nonsense, or jump right in and help prepare a wonderful feast. My time is very flexible and if I can I will show you my part of the world. There is a lot to see and do on the Central Coast.

PHILOSOPHY

Value family. I am motivated by the bush, I look to nature for lessons and remain open and teachable. Don't over complicate things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In August 2015, I was fortunate enough to surf two of the best couches in India.

Usually I host couch surfers in my home whenever possible. I like to take surfers out to my 230 acre bush property 'Orana' situated on the Darling Downs, if the opportunity arises. Orana is a place where you can experience a little of the Australian bush, camping, open camp fires, explore the local region, swim in the Condamine river and take in a cold beer with lots of colourful characters at a great little Aussie Pub.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have just travelled through India and have been hosted by two very different and wonderful hosts.

I love to host. I have hosted many good and interesting travellers from many different countries. Whether we cook, sit on the verandahs chatting or relax and swim in the pool, its great to compare and exchange many stories, experiences and lifestyles cultural differences. Each surfer and host is unique, bringing a positive and rewarding exchange.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandered about India. Wow!

Teach, Learn, Share

I spend a lot of my spare time, being weekends and some weekdays out on my bush property developing a humble dwelling and connecting with nature. This is an endeavour I am keen to share with other likeminded people, its great to get out there, set up camp, build a fire, prepare food and share what I know and to learn about other peoples experiences through their journey.
