About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to meet every person in the world

ABOUT ME

It's now been 4 years since I returned to my native Sydney after living in Europe, Canada & the UK for 8 years. The last year away was in Spain, a place I could probably live in forever. Outside Australia, Spain & Italy are my homes away from home.

People who travel are my kind of people... open minded, flexible, appreciative, excited cool people who want to discover the world!

I really enjoy Sydney's great outdoors... the beaches, the bush, the mountains. But also enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. All in moderation I guess.

I'm keen to use CSing to practice Spanish and Italian so currently only hosting those who speak Italian or Spanish fluently. Sorry, but yeah, it's language practice I need right now.

Since being back I have started a little tour company called Kangarrific Tours, doing day trips to the Hunter Valley (wine region) so it's great to still have a strong connection with people from all over the world. (always have special rates for CSers)
