CURRENT MISSION

Learn Italian to increase my chances of becoming volunteer for Milano 2026

ABOUT ME

Follower of the Aussie Paralympic team and Gliders [female basketball team] in particular. This has taken me around the world 5 times.

Although pretty impressed with the Aussie Goalball team - will be following them now.

PHILOSOPHY

Ignore idiocy for surely it will get bored and go away.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Friend recommended the offerings in Switzerland and I am now returning the favour.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After completing renovations my couch is open for business again. Now I have an enormous walk in shower, internal washing machine. Dishwasher [MUST USE IT!!] and large kitchen/dining.

Interessen

Reading. Australian Gliders. Historic cities, buildings and cemeteries.
Look for the little different things out there.
Atlas Obscura is my goto instruction manual for things to do.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

My dead set fave singer of all time is Janis Joplin. Like a lot of things including Classical but not death metal or stoopid rap.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Caught a snowflake on my tongue!!!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

those that live slightly off the grid.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Knowledge of area [including secret swimming holes].

If I say please use the food out of my pantry - please use it! I do not need another can of capers or large bottle of salt. It's extremely rude to not follow someones house rules. I have a dishwasher - USE IT! It is better for the environment, trust me, I've researched.
