CURRENT MISSION

To approach love and cooking with reckless abandon

ABOUT ME

Perhaps the things I´ve done say a lot about me?

I´ve partied in salt mines, deserts, extinct volcanic craters, converted warehouses, bank vaults, shopping centre carparks, apartment roofs, beaches, islands, boats, ships, buses... etc.

I´ve slept in bathtubs, churches, pirate ships, hammocks, neighbour´s backyards, alleyways, parks, beaches, pizza restaurant frontyards, costume shop dressing rooms, train stations, floors, ecovillages, deserts, cars, tents, porches, balconies, chairs put together, cubby houses, toilet cubicles, rainforests... etc. I´m sure I´ve slept standing up once.

I´ve survived monsoons in Thailand, typhoons in Japan, hailstorms in Australia, windstorms in Ireland and hurricane seasons in Guatemala.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short for bad wine. If you don´t remember it, it didn´t happen. Be nice to your Mum. Snot has little nutritional value. Citronella oil is not a wise choice of beverage. Pooh is not a body part.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just returned from 1.5 years travelling through Latin America, but am unable to host at the moment...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome! I´ve surfed in 2 apartments in Rio during the Carnivale, in an Eco-village in Northern Brazil, by the beach in South Brazil and in the heart of the city in Paraguay...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Being kissed by an elephant, having lunch with orangatans, being propositioned to rob a bank and escape to China by a loonie with a gun stuffed down his pants, sharing a mandarin with nuns through a van window while I was on a motorbike, swimming with whale-sharks, spending 3 nights on a pirate ship, nearly being thrown out of Richard Branson´s casino in Vegas for cartwheeling (I was inspired by the previous evening´s performance of Cirque de Soleil), hitching a ride in the back of a police truck, spending 62 days in silence, skinny dipping in the Dead Sea, being evacuated to a high school gymnasium on an isolated island at a music festival during a typhoon after it started raining horizontally, seeing a band of fully automated robots play music.. the list goes on and the adventures continue!
